Jordan Grand Prix has selected two new drivers for the 2005 Formula One World Championship. Whilst both Narain Karthikeyan and Tiago Monteiro are new to Formula One both are highly regarded for their achievements in other motorsport formula. Both drivers have experience of F1 testing and have worked closely with Jordan Sporting Director Trevor Carlin earlier in their careers.

Narain and Tiago are joined by Jordan’s returning official Friday Test Driver Robert Doornbos. Robert showed some great performances for the team in late 2004 and is expected to fulfill a valuable role during the 2005 Formula One World Championship.
