Jordan EJ11
Encyclopedia
The Jordan EJ11 was the car with which the Jordan
team competed in the Formula One
season.
. The EJ11 now had seven gears instead of the previous car's six, and also featured a much higher nose (resulting in a shark-based livery). But, most notably, the team now had works Honda
engines, replacing the Mugen Honda engines used for the previous three years. This put the team into direct competition with fellow-Honda users British American Racing
.
Much was expected of the EJ11. After the disappointing season, where the team finished only sixth in the Constructors' Championship, the EJ11 was expected to return the team to the very front of the grid. The car was very fast in pre-season testing, regularly topping the time sheets at many tracks. The team's lead driver, Heinz-Harald Frentzen
, claimed it was the best car he had ever driven, and that he could become champion driving it. Jarno Trulli
, the team's other driver, was equally optimistic. Many predicted that the EJ11 would be close behind Ferrari
and McLaren in the fight for the title honours.
, Frentzen qualified a strong fourth with Trulli not far behind in seventh. Frentzen ran in third place early on, but was knocked off the track in a collision Rubens Barrichello
's Ferrari. In a strong comeback drive, the German
finished sixth, and was promoted to fifth when arch-rivals BAR had one of their cars disqualified for overtaking under a yellow flag. Trulli drove strongly and looked set for third when his hydraulics failed, putting him out of the race.
At the very next round in Malaysia
, Trulli was third after the first lap. When the circuit was doused by a thunderstorm, he briefly held the lead before spinning off and dropping back down the order. Frentzen survived the rainstorm and finished a strong fourth, beating the Williams
of Ralf Schumacher
and the McLaren of Mika Häkkinen
in the process.
The trend of strong qualifying but inferior race pace continued in Brazil
, where the team threw away the chance for a podium after both cars pitted on the same lap to change tyres in wet conditions. Frentzen retired from third with an electrical problem with eight laps to go, which promoted Trulli to the same position. The wrong choice of tyres, however, would see him passed by Nick Heidfeld
's Sauber
and Olivier Panis
' BAR in the closing laps.
Trulli once again qualified near the head of the field at Imola, and made a quick start to run third in the opening laps. His race pace was not strong, and a queue of faster cars soon developed behind him. Jarno would drop to fifth behind the faster Ferraris, Williamses and McLarens, with Frentzen finishing immediately behind in sixth. This would be the team's only double-points finish in the course of the season.
The Spanish Grand Prix saw Trulli finish fourth, but the team were left disappointed that they had been beaten by BAR, with Jacques Villeneuve
finishing in third place. In a straight fight the team were beaten by their rivals. Frentzen's race was compromised when his launch control failed, and he collided with Pedro de la Rosa
whilst climbing back up through the field.
The next two races at Austria and Monaco
would see double retirements. Embarrassingly, neither car left the grid in Austria, when Trulli's launch control failed and Frentzen's gearbox failed. A possible podium finish was lost by unreliability in Monaco due to Trulli retiring from fifth with an engine failure, and Frentzen crashed heavily exiting the tunnel.
Frentzen again crashed in the practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix
. He subsequently complained of dizziness and headaches, and was replaced for the race by the team's test driver, Ricardo Zonta
. Once again the EJ11 performed well in qualifying, but was unable to keep the same pace up in the race. Trulli however once again looked set for a strong finish and maybe a podium when his brake master cylinder failed. Zonta finished a disappointing 7th, outside the points positions.
The EJ11s qualified on the fourth row of the grid at the Nürburgring
, but did not achieve a good result during the race, with both cars retiring whilst running outside the points-paying positions.
The team were becoming frustrated with Frentzen's lack of pace in the EJ11, as he had been out qualified by Trulli in all but one race, and had scored fewer points than the Italian
. Trulli had a steady race at Magny-Cours
and finished in 5th, whilst Frentzen was off his team-mate's pace and finished only 8th, behind both Saubers.
Things looked up for the team at their home Grand Prix at Silverstone
. The cars were fourth and fifth on the grid, but Trulli wasted his chance by colliding with David Coulthard
's McLaren at the first corner. Frentzen was again beaten by the Sauber C20
s, and finished seventh. Eddie Jordan
had had enough, and Frentzen was fired from the team following the race.
At this stage, the team were only fifth in the Constructors' Championship with 15 points, behind Sauber, with a much smaller budget and without manufacturer backing, who had 19. The cars were off the pace again in Germany, with a double retirement ending a miserable day. Trulli may have finished on the podium, but spun in the course of a battle with Villeneuve, who went on to finish third. Zonta, again substituting for Frentzen, collided with Jos Verstappen
's Arrows early on.
A major aerodynamic upgrade came for the next Grand Prix in Hungary
. A large amount of time and money had been used on the first upgrade of the season. Jean Alesi
also joined the team in a surprise move after leaving the Prost
team (Frentzen, ironically, would take his vacated seat for the balance of the season). Trulli started fifth, but gradually fell back and retired outside of the points after holding up a huge queue of cars early on. Alesi had a steady drive to a mere tenth after a poor qualifying performance and equally poor start. The team were now despairing, as the upgrade had made no difference to the car's performance, and the team were now sixth in the championship, behind BAR and Sauber, despite having the potentially faster car.
Spa produced some reward for the team, with Alesi scoring a point for sixth in a chaotic race. However, this was achieved at the expense of Trulli, who retired from fifth place when his engine failed with only a few laps to go.
Trulli had his fifth successive retirement at Monza
after he was taken out at the first turn by Jenson Button
's late-braking Benetton
. It was another waste of a strong top six qualifying effort. Alesi finished a distant eighth, behind Villeneuve's BAR and Kimi Räikkönen
's Sauber.
Things came good again at the penultimate round of the championship, held in the USA
. Trulli finished fourth, with Alesi finishing his 200th Grand Prix in seventh. However, Jarno was disqualified from the results after a technical infringement was found on his car. However, in an appeal held after the season had finished the team won the case and had Trulli's result reinstated. This was a crucial victory off the track, as it raised the team back up to fifth in the Constructors' Championship, and back ahead of BAR.
The final race at Suzuka
saw the team's final effort to score the three points it needed to finish 4th in the Constructors' Championship, ahead of Sauber. It was also Alesi's final race, and an opportunity to achieve a 100% finishing record through the season. Alesi topped the timesheets in Friday Free Practice, but retired from the race after colliding with Räikkönen. Trulli was not on the pace, driving to a pointless eight position.
