(GMM -- Jan.10) Jordan and Minardi were so angry at Ford's F1 pullout that they considered legal action, a UK newspaper reported.
The Money section in UK's Daily Telegraph said Ford put Cosworth, engine supplier to the minnow teams as well as works outfit Jaguar, into administration prior to it being sold.
One source said: ''... the F1 customers were very upset and might have gone for litigation.''
The Telegraph said putting the company into administration protected both Ford and Cosworth's new owners 'from litigation after the sale.'
Champ Car co-owners Kevin Kalkhoven and Gerry Forsythe, we can also reveal, changed Cosworth Racing's name to 'Cosworth Limited' after the sale.
