Jordan Grand Prix is known as the colourful, high profile team of F1, shaped by the character of its leader, Eddie Jordan, and now entering its fourteenth year of competing at the top level of motorsport. Jordan has disrupted the domination of the sport’s elite by breaking the stranglehold of the few teams which have won races in recent years. The team has brought a new dynamic to the sport, founded on entrepreneurship and a lean structure, to challenge long-established rivals for success on the track while providing unparalleled access to the action for sponsors, media and fans.

The team’s F1 debut was with the Jordan Ford 191 at the USA GP 1991, and Michael Schumacher’s first drive in a Grand Prix followed later that year at the Belgian GP. A steady progression of success through the 90s resulted in a historic 1st and 2nd at the 1998 Belgian GP with Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher. In 1999 the team went further when Heinz Harald Frentzen added two more victories (French and Italian GPs) to Jordan’s record and he was a Drivers’ Championship contender going into the penultimate round, finishing 3rd overall. Giancarlo Fisichella added a fourth victory in 2003 with a remarkable drive in the rain-drenched Brazilian GP. In addition to the team’s four race wins, results include a further fourteen podiums, plus six front rows in qualifying. Despite the team’s best efforts results did not live up to the successes of 1998 – 1999 in subsequent years which included a works engine deal with Honda in 2001-2002 and a reunion between Jordan and its original F1 engine partner Ford in partnership with Cosworth Racing. An internal restructure, a strengthening sponsorship portfolio and equal status on engine specification with Ford’s works team has inspired confidence and anticipation as a rejuvenated Jordan team attacks the Formula One World Championship.
