A good 6 seconds behind the williams and 3 behind the BAR, I know he only had a short run and inst experienced but its not a great sign is it?

jordans days in formula 1 are numbered sadly in my opinion, even minardi or jaguar are bigger than us now, we dont even have 2 confirmed driversa for this season which is starting in just over 2 months, so not good at all.I dont see why he doesnt get damien faulkner or any decent irish driver and give them a chance.

Money.

In fairness to Leinders, he didn't get too many laps in on account of going off on cold tyres in the coldest conditions, thus tearing a corner off the car.

meh. it's a sad time for jordan. a bit of money would be nice for the team... and a decent engine, and some new stuff to develop a proper aero package.

Yeah, Today was due to a crash, dso what explains yesterdays 4 second deficit?! Ugh! Its still the EJ13 tho, maybe the EJ14 will be ok..... Who am I kidding?!

Well, if u think back to 1998 when the jordan team were then at their all time low. The car was slow, heavy, undriveable and lacked downforce. The team weren't that well off either. They only scored their first point i think it was may 12 races into the season. Next one or two races was spa francorchamps (if that's how u spell it). That was a one two with a bit of luck, but right after that came a seriously good car, and the ninety nine season... need i say more. They'll get their act together eventually...

Safe to say Button would nay have gone that fast had BAR still been using the Bridgies.
