      But then still at the end of 2002, Honda decided that they only wanted to supply BAR in 2003, which led to Sato moving back to his test position at Brackley (which later culminated in him taking Jacques Villeneuve’s seat at the end of that year) which meant Jordan had to settle for Ford power and Ralph Firman to replace Honda and Sato, a terrible combination

      Frentzen was brilliant in 99, but the combination of poor reliability and some terrible mistakes by both Trulli and Frentzen during 00 and 01 undermined the team for good. However, the current corporate monopolies that run f1 now would have ruined Jordan anyway - and did.

      I never got that logic. Why not fire Truli then? Jarno was leaving anyways, he had a deal to move to Benetton (which was becoming Renault) in 2002. Why get rid of the driver who might stay and was a totem to the team for Jarno? Cause Jarno never out performed Frentzen in the 1.5 years they were partners. Faster on a single lap sure but not in a race.

      Meodread "Cause Jarno never out performed Frentzen in the 1.5 years they were partners" Trulli outqualified him 10 out of 11 races in 2001. He also scored more points in 2001. Sorry, it was clear Trulli had more pace and was 27, whereas Frentzen was 34 and past his prime. If he really was as good as some claim he was then top teams would have wanted him, or even decent teams. As it were only Arrows had a spot for him in 2002 and by 2003 Sauber pretty much offered him a retirement drive.

      Matt P thanks to Honda and Sato being replaced by a terrible package of Ford and Ralph Firman after that. But at least it meant BAR could stop paying a huge amount of money on Villeneuve’s salary after 2003 cos Sato tested that year then took the 97 champ’s seat the following year in 2004

      Not everyone in Germany was/is a Schumacher fan. HHF and Michael had a pretty intense rivalry and some chose HHF's side. The majority supported Michael of course but his perfectionist attitude wasn't well received by all. Plus he had some controversial moments and was vilified even in the German media at times (Jerez 97)

    Karma for Eddie Jordan since then his team becomes backmarker, karma for Honda now they are not that good to ask for a seat for a Japanese.

      Hoang Nguyen when it comes to Honda and, F1 1997 maybe earlier Honda like to try to please the big bosses by trying to get a Japanese driver into F1. The thing is not many of them have been that good. For example Shinji Nakano drive for Prost in 1997. Nakano San was also going to marry the daughter of the boss of Mugen Honda. Simply put F1 politics at play." You want to use our engines, then you must do as we say".

    HHF had just no good luck in his prime. Whenever he was in a good position for the podium the car failed or he got crashed by someone. Otherwise he would easily won the championship in 1999 in my opinion. He was such a nice guy back then even when he got kicked out by someone he kept calm in the interview. With barrichello he was my favourite driver in this era!

    This is the same guy that had Ralf Schumacher who was one of the most overrated drivers in history.... sacking frentzen just contributed to the demise of this team.

    Please, Jarno Trulli outqualified him in all races but one and Trulli was the more consistent points scorer in 2001 as well. There was little impetus to keep Frentzen. His star quickly vaned.

      Trulli outqalified Alonso as well. Frentzen's sacking was more about money and disagreements than performance.

    Frentzen was an OK driver, was he legendary? No, he wasnt. Jordan was a great team but they just couldn't get that last push to put them into Championship contentions. They were the front running team that just got picked on by Ferrari and McLaren routinely. They got picked on by Williams and Benetton. They were always a third or forth place team in the Constructors. They always had a solid program but didn't have a supplier backing them to fully develop, unlike Ferrari, Renault, or Mercedes. Without the power to push to the front competitively, the team just faded away. Eddie Jordan did the best with what he had. It was nice to see a Yellow car back in the sport though.
