F1 falls into place

LONDON: Next year's Formula One lineup has almost fallen into place with Damon Hill's decision to move from Arrows to Jordan.

Tyrrell's Mika Salo has moved to Arrows, Jean Alesi has gone from Benetton to Sauber and Giancarlo Fisichella from Jordan to Benetton (courtesy of a London High Court decision).

The second Benetton driver will be Alexander Wurz, who impressed in a few outings with the team this year.

Veteran Gerhard Berger appears likely to retire but may become a test driver for BMW when it starts testing its new F1 engine in 1999.
