[閒聊] 再見了 Jordan

[Lipatti (兜~兜米餿~~~兜~兜米餿~~)]

哈哈
我也來一篇
向佐敦車隊說再見吧
以下英文原文引用自www.formula1.com

Of the three, Jordan - set to become Midland F1 next year -
has undoubtedly enjoyed the most success. It was founded in
1991 by Eddie Jordan, a charismatic Irishman who had enjoyed
success as a constructor in Formula 3 and F3000. And it was
certainly an exciting first season - Ford power providing the
team with a competitive car, and allowing lead driver
Andrea de Cesaris to finish the drivers' championship in ninth
place. The team's second driver, Bertrand Gachot, missed the
end of the season after being sent to prison for assaulting a
taxi driver - and in his place at the Belgian Grand Prix,
Eddie Jordan gave one Michael Schumacher his Formula One debut.
Sadly for Jordan, Schumacher signed for Benetton and only ever
made a single start for the team.

簡單敘述一下
Minardi是今年的年度冠軍Alonso進入F1殿堂的墊腳石
Jordan也可以很自豪地向大家宣告是他們給了Schumacher踏進F1的機會
(挺懷念綠色的七喜塗裝   還有那個紅不起來的Fido Dido)
只不過這個機會來的有點詭異
竟然是因為二號車手Gachot被控攻擊計程車司機而被抓去關
(不曉得這位計程車司機後來有沒有去跟MS要點甜頭?)
Anyway, 最後這兩位都被B先生"抓"走了 看來他也真的是挺有眼光的

By the mid 1990s Jordan were establishing themselves as an
up-and-coming team. Rubens Barrichello got the first of the
team's 19 podiums in the 1994 Pacific Grand Prix - and also
landed the first pole position with a brilliant qualifying
performance in Belgium. Over the next couple of seasons the
team's fortunes continued to improve as they secured their
place at the top of the mid-table group of teams. Many of
Formula One's most talented drivers passed through during
this period, including Eddie Irvine, Ralf Schumacher,
Giancarlo Fisichella, Damon Hill and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.

現今MS的搭檔Barrichello也是由Jordan發掘出來的
93年很慘 只有兩分
94年好多了  拿下了Jordan的第一個前三甲以及杆位
在90年代末期Jordan逐漸站穩二線車隊龍頭的地位
而Irvine, Ralf, Fisico, Hill, Frentzen都是這個車隊的"過客"
(突然覺得Jordan拉拔出來的車手跟Ferrari還蠻有緣的
MS, Rubens, Irvine先後去了Ferrari  還有一位法拉利控還沒去成  XD
Ivan Capelli跟Jean Alesi則是從Ferrari退下來後
最後在Jordan車隊結束F1生涯
至於Hill跟Frentzen都算是被Williams"流放"的
只有Ralf沒有任何關聯  就算是他有個開Ferrari的老哥吧)

It was the last two drivers who were to deliver Jordan's greatest
victories. After a lacklustre start to the 1998 season, former
world champion Hill redeemed himself by taking the team's first
win in the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix - with team mate Ralf Schumacher
following him home in second. And the following year, Frentzen
took the team to a third-place finish in the constructors'
championship (and bagging third in the drivers' title himself)
after a strong season in which he scored two victories and
entered the final race of the year with a mathematical
possibility of emerging world champion.

簡單一句話
兩位被Williams流放的車手帶來了Jordan車隊的榮光
Hill在98年為Jordan拿下第一個分站冠軍(還是個1-2 Finish)
Frentzen則在99年奪下兩冠
當Irvine跟Mika打得火熱的時候  他也來為車手冠軍頭銜插一腳

It would turn out to be the highlight of Eddie Jordan's time in
Formula One. From the 2000 season onwards Jordan began to suffer
from a lack of pace. In part this was due to the disintegration
of the engineering team that Jordan had put together - but as
Formula One budgets began to really boom, the relatively small
team also found itself unable to raise the sponsorship income
to match the spending of its rivals. By 2003, when Honda withdrew
its engine supply, the team was clearly in trouble - and spent
the following two years battling at the back of the grid with
Minardi. After Midland's takeover Eddie Jordan was replaced,
and the decision was made to compete under the Jordan name for
one more season - with the end of the race in Shanghai the
chapter comes to an end.

還是簡單一句話
有錢萬事都行   沒錢萬萬不行
Honda的抽腿讓Jordan更加陷入萬劫不復的境地

不過細數這幾年來年  它還是帶給了我們許多精采的鏡頭
(別忘了現在Sato的"功力"  發掘他的Jordan車隊也"功不可沒"喔)
就連今年這最後一場它還是決定要"轟轟烈烈"地退場
且讓我們也為Jordan車隊致敬吧!!!
