Pre-season [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
Since 1994, the stable has been around fifth and sixth places in the manufacturer’s championship and occasionally produces podiums; She hopes to continue this momentum and progress more this season.
A catastrophic start to the season [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
The start of the season does not meet expectations, especially in the race. In Australia, Schumacher and Hill qualify in fifth line and Hill finished eighth, more than one turn of the McLaren of Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard while Schumacher abandons in the second round, after a hanging with Jan Magnussen and Toranosuke Takagi.
In Brazil, Schumacher starts eighth and hill eleventh; The German goes on the head and abandons in the first round while Hill, who arrived tenth, is disqualified for non-compliant weight. In Argentina, Schumacher qualifies fifth but misses his departure and then goes to the fault. Hill, qualified ninth, wins a position in the race but no point is scored after three races.
In Saint-Marin, Hill, qualified seventh, does not see the arrival because of a valve problem when he was at the door of the points; Schumacher qualified ninth and finished in the place occupied by his teammate before his abandonment. In Spain, Hill, qualified eighth, sees his engine Mugen Honda exploding while he occupied his starting position; Schumacher qualifies and finishes eleventh. The Irish single -seaters are even more behind in Monaco: relegated to eighth line, Schumacher abandons on accident and Hill arrives eighth.
The Grand Prix of Canada sees the Jordan returning to a more correct level in qualifying: Schumacher fifth and Hill tenth, but the test ends with a double abandonment: Schumacher from the start on one-to-one and Hill after an electric problem While riding in the points zone. In France, Schumacher qualified sixth in front of his teammate who abandoned on engine breakdown while he was seventh. The German finished sixteenth, three laps of his brother, after having known various problems in the race. While the mid-season milestone has passed, Jordan’s points counter is still a virgin, a first since 1993. The previous season, at the same stage, she occupied sixth place in the championship with 13 points.
Progress in the second part of the season [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
In Silverstone, in the rain, Hill spoils a good seventh place in qualifying by head-to-one at the start of the race but Schumacher, returned from the grid, finished sixth and marks the first point of the stable which is placed In the eighth provisional place in the manufacturer’s championship. This point is Jordan’s first in almost ten months (the Austrian Grand Prix 1997), and this will really launch its season.
In Austria, the Jordan, back in qualifying (Schumacher ninth and Hill Fifteenth), finished fifth (Schumacher) and seventh (Hill). The good qualification of Hockenheim (Schumacher fourth ahead of Hill) is confirmed in the race: the 1996 world champion opens his points counter with fourth place while his teammate finished sixth. He recurred in Hungary where he qualified and finished fourth. Jordan then dates back to fifth place in the manufacturers’ championship.
The feat in Belgian land [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
The British pilot does even better during the Belgian Grand Prix where he qualified third, behind the McLaren-Mercedes, and in front of the Ferrari of his former rival Michael Schumacher. He even leads the first laps of a rainy grand prix before being exceeded by the Ferrari. In the twenty-sixth round, while the Schumacher’s elder rides in front of the two Jordan, he clings with David Coulthard, trying to take a tour. The Jordan take command and can make a double. On the radio, Damon Hill asks that the positions be frozen to prevent the pilots from attacking and putting in jeopardy which could be the first victory of the stable in 127 Grands Prix. Eddie Jordan then asked Ralf Schumacher to stay behind his teammate. The double Jordan glimpsed after the abandonment of Schumacher materializes on arrival, Hill won his 22 It is and last success as well as its 42 It is and last podium while Schumacher has risen on his first podium since that of Argentina in 1997. This podium is the first of the stable since the second place of Giancarlo Fisichella on the same track a year earlier; It is also his first double podium since the Grand Prix of Canada 1995. Jordan relaunched himself in the fight for third place in the manufacturer championship against Williams and Benetton.
Fighting for third place at the end of the season [ modifier | Modifier and code ]
In Italy, Schumacher qualifies sixth and finished third behind the Ferrari of his brother and Eddie Irvine. Hill, qualified fourteenth, adds the point of sixth place to the podium of his teammate, which allows Jordan, with 31 points, to point two points from Williams (33 points) and at a Benetton point (32).
In Luxembourg, Schumacher qualifies sixth and Hill tenth but the Benetton and the Williams are placed before; This is also the case in the race where Jordan does not bring any points while Williams and Benetton register two and one. The Irish stable tackles the last Grand Prix, in Suzuka, with four points behind Williams and two late on Benetton.
On the starting grid, the Williams are on the third line, ahead of the Jordan and the Benetton. David Richards’ cars do not bring a single point, unlike their opponents. At the last round of the Grand Prix, Hill exceeds Heinz-Harald Frentzen and finished fourth, in front of the Williams. This is not enough to get ahead of them in the championship where Jordan bows for four points in front of them. Jordan, however, went beyond Benetton and ranked fourth in the manufacturers’ championship with 34 points, his best result since its beginnings in Formula 1.
At the end of the season, Ralf Schumacher left Jordan for Williams and was replaced by Heinz-Harald Frentzen for the 1999 season.
