Damon Hill has today re-affirmed his pledge to help the Benson and Hedges Jordan team achieve its highest ever placing in the Formula One Constructors’ Championship by continuing to race for the remainder of the 1999 season.

Jordan Mugen-Honda currently holds third place in the Championship, a position boosted by Hill's fifth place finish at the British Grand Prix on Sunday 11th July.

Hill commented "I am looking forward to helping the Benson and Hedges Jordan team achieve its highest ever Constructors' Championship position."

Eddie Jordan, Chief Executive of Jordan Grand Prix added, "We are all extremely pleased with Damon's decision. His contribution to this massive team effort is invaluable and we are all eagerly anticipating the last eight races."

Both Hill and Jordan are currently on holiday with their families. Jordan will test this week at Monza with Shinji Nakano and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.
