No changes for top drivers

PARIS: Grand Prix racing's top three teams will go into the 1998 season with unchanged driver line-ups.

Williams has decided to retain Jacques Villeneuve and Heinz- Harald Frentzen while David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen have kept their jobs at McLaren, despite considerable speculation to the contrary.

World championship leader Michael Schumacher will stay with Ferrari, along with Eddie Irvine.
