■ JORDAN

This was a small but colourful team that arrived in F1 in 1991 after the owner, Eddie Jordan, had won championships in the junior ranks. After almost winning a Grand Prix during their first season, Jordan finished a creditable fifth in the championship. Sometimes handicapped by switching engine supplier in a bid to find the best deal, it would take Jordan until 1998 to win their first Grand Prix, with two more the following year bringing the British-based team within striking distance of the title. It was a gradual downhill decline from there until the team was sold in 2005 but, throughout, Jordan maintained a lively presence by giving full value to sponsors, principally the tobacco company Benson and Hedges (Figure 1, Martin Brundle at the wheel of the gold-painted Jordan-Peugeot in 1996). Jordan is likely to remain one of the last of the small teams ever to win a Grand Prix.
