Arrows announcement tomorrow?

There are rumors in Formula 1 circles that Arrows will be making an announcement tomorrow with regard to what is going to happen to the team in the future. There is speculation that this will either be an announcement about new ownership or about who will be driving the car in Hungary.

There has been much talk of a takeover of the team by Craig Pollock but there have a number of contradictory stories about what is happening in the last few days so no clear picture has yet emerged.

It is a similar story on the question of who will replace Heinz-Harald Frentzen. The obvious choices are Jos Verstappen and (perhaps) Sebastien Bourdais, although the Frenchman would have to give up any hope he has of winning the International Formula 3000 title if he opts for the Arrows drive.
