Johnny Herbert, who has taken over Jos' place at Stewart, has said that the new Stewart-Ford SF3 will be a major step forward for the team. The car may be out on the track as early as January 1999, which is good for reliability testing. Johnny: "Getting the car out so early can only help us. I've sat in it and I've seen pictures of the finished machine, and it's a step forwards in every department." About the cooperation between Alan Jenkins and new hire Gary Anderson, he said: "They are both very experienced and they will develop the car as the season goes on, which means Stewart will be able to progress more than it has in the past. Ford has made a major push too, and the purchase of Cosworth is good news."
