Jordan seek home comforts

JORDAN are hoping to rediscover their way at this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, just a stone’s throw from their factory.

Ralph Firman’s eighth place in Spain six races ago is the only point they have scored since Giancarlo Fisichella unexpectedly triumphed in the wet in the third grand prix of the season in Brazil. Fisichella has left no-one in any doubt that he has been unhappy with the performance of the car, repeatedly admitting he wants a more competitive drive in 2004 while rookie Firman is still finding his Formula One feet.

The Ford-powered team’s lack of resources and limited testing is beginning to show with Fisichella and Firman qualifying in a lowly 17th and 18th places respectively at the last race in France.
