RALF SCHUMACHER, Eddie Jordan's signing for next season, is disappointed that Damon Hill has not signed for the Silverstone-based team as well. Hill, who is one point away from clinching this year's World Championship, was widely tipped to be heading for Jordan-Peugeot after Williams dropped him from their line-up.

The British driver surprised everyone last week by announcing he was joining a rejuvenated Arrows team.

"I'm really disappointed about his decision, but I guess it's about money," said Schumacher, the 21-year-old brother of double world champion Michael Schumacher. "Maybe he doesn't like Schumachers, I don't know," the young German said during a break from his first Jordan tests at the Estoril circuit. Jordan have still to announce Schumacher's team-mate for next season.
