The Benetton team confirmed on Wednesday the signing of chief designer Mark Smith from the Jordan team.
Smith has followed Jordan's former technical director Mike Gascoyne to Benetton after Jordan announced last week that Smith would be leaving the team.
Smith's five-year contract at Benetton will not start until May 1st this year, as he joins the technical staff of the Enstone-based outfit.
