After a very successful qualifying for Jordan at the Belgian Grand Prix I am very disappointed at only one point being achieved by the team. With Jarno Trulli starting in second position I was confident that this could be the turning point of the season. After an incident with Button after only 4 laps I was to return home disappointed again.
What has happened to the team which last year looked like it was closing in on Ferrari and McClaren ? This season has been full of retirements or no point finishes.
Spa has in the past proved a very successful hunting ground for the Jordan team. In previous years they have even recorded a victory here with Damon Hill and I hoped that a podium place would have been a reality,however the best we could manage was Frentzen in sixth place and one point. For a team that has now survived ten years in F1 the gap between the teams should be closing and not widening.
Lets hope that at Monza, in front of his home fans Trulli can finally turn in a performance that is worthy of himself and finally earn the team some points.In two weeks time we need for both drivers to finish in the top six and earn some serious points if the team is to finish in a respectable position.
