Subject: Mansell says 'no' to F1 comeback

Nigel Mansell is reported to have turned down a possible Formula One comeback with Jordan. The former world champion spent two days' testing for Jordan-Peugeot in Barcelona last week. The Daily Mirror claims Mansell has decided the car isn't good enough to win a Grand Prix. Team boss Eddie Jordan was saying little about Mansell's plans last week and stressed that the millionaire Brit was feeling out the car.

Mansell said he had been seriously considering making a return to action in next year's Championship. He said: "I quickly came to realise that my schedule would not permit me to give sufficient time to the Jordan team and their sponsors."
