He has started talking to several other teams about next season." The source said Hill, currently leading the drivers' champi- onship had approached the Jordan and Stewart teams, and has also been linked with the McLaren-Mercedes team. A second source in Germany said Williams had already offered Frentzen a seat for the 1997 season.
