Jordan have confirmed that Jos Verstappen will not be testing the EJ14 at Silverstone next week after all. According to the team, Giorgio and Nick will be in attendance on the 2nd and 3rd.

Earlier media reports say that Jos was too large for the EJ14 cockpit and as such, he and the team have failed to find a comfortable seating position for the test. It's not the first time, Sauber were also unable to find a comfortable position for "The Boss".

Jos told his website.  "When you can't sit properly in the car you are not able to perform 100%.  We had to think long and hard about this decision, together with our sponsors. It is a shame, both for Jordan and myself. I have to thank the Jordan mechanics for their efforts; they worked very hard to try to give me a good sitting position in the JordanF1 car."
