Simply put, things are looking bad for Jordan this season. They seemed to be lacking a title sponsor until recently, and the new Honda engine is under performing. On the plus side they have got star driver Giancarlo Fischichella back on board. Sure fire bet for a podium on one of the driver circuits such as Spa or Suzuka. All in all the opposite of Renault, two excellent drivers, and a bad car.
An under performing engine, possible finance problems until recently and poor testing pace is not a good start to the year. Jordan have proved the press wrong before and been fast when they should not have been but that trick is getting harder to achieve every year.
Giancarlo Fisichella
A truly gifted driver who excels on drivers circuits. Quite why this man is not driving for a front running team by now is beyond me. Sadly the car is not likely to be up to much this season so don’t expect miracles, although a couple of podiums are possibly with Fisichellas excellent race craft.
Takuma Sato
The man everyone in Japan wants to see winning. He utterly dominated the British F3 series last year but don’t expect too much from him this year. It will take him a while to get into the swing of things.
Undoubtedly a talent for the future.
