The Fall of Jaguar F1 Team

- Jaguar Formula 1 Team raced in the sport from 2000 to 2004. With heavy backing from owner Ford, there was reason to be excited about this potential motor sport prospect. Unfortunately though, it would go all wrong for the team. Jaguar had the likes of Niki Lauda in a management role and nearly signed technical genius Adrian Newey but they would fail to perform consistently and despite their occasional good results, it wasn't enough for Ford to continue with their F1 journey. The team was sold to Red Bull in late 2004, and the rest is history. Enjoy!

A driver who nearly wins the title with Ferrari is fired and joins a new team built on a small team known for punching above it's weight. The new team is named after an iconic car brand, has a ton of cash injected into it and is given a beautiful green livery, and yet, the results don't come. The ex-Ferrari driver still does his best, and even manages to get a few podiums out of the rapidly stagnating team, but in the end gets fed up with the lack of progress and leaves. A few years later, the teams investors decide that the venture is not worth it and the plug is pulled. Ah how history repeats itself...
SEB in aston Martin😅
oof
the team is then bought by an energy drinks company, who turns it into a world champion
rich energy WDC and WCC confirmed
If you take away the green livery part. You also get the same result with Felipe Massa.
Maybe Andretti
Jaguar is basically the Aston Martin of the 00s
Haha I see the similarities
I was getting Jaguar vibes even in the early days of the Stroll/Aston Martin project. Their priorities are clearly all wrong.
@@MadeByPerspective when exactly did newey join jaguar?
@@mauss1986 He didn't. They tried to recruit him, but he stayed at McLaren. He joined Red Bull in 2006.
@@elliotcrossan6290 yeah i thought i was going crazy . the video makes it seem newey joined in 2001
Underdog team + Green Livery + Hype around them + Unstable management = PAIN ( AM , Jaguar )
+ British brand with North American financing
@@sebastianmandrean + a world champion racing for them
This is weird, I was just reading Adrian Newey's book, a chapter where he's describing leftovers of Jaguar's terrible culture when he joined RedBull.
Book title pls
@@muhammadfarhan581 How to build a car
I have the book but have not started it yet? How is it?
I still remember that whole diamond spiel, I’m still convinced a lucky Marshall saw it and nicked it for himself
😭💰
I think the real diamond was replaced with a replica. Then they both disappeared. But the replica's disappearance got all the attention. While someone else has a $400,000 paperweight they can never show anyone.
Makes sense considering the diamond was part of a promotion for a Heist Movie.
And I'm sure the only one who really lost out was the insurance company. Unless they were also in on it.
Who writes a policy for a baseball size diamond on a removable part of a car with a high likelihood of being damaged/lost on a 200mph car driving around the world's most challenging street circuit with solid barricades everywhere?
@@purpletigerracing7087 I guess you haven't heard of "Lloyd's of London"?
20th Century Fox insured Betty Grable's legs for $1m each through Lloyds of London.
Australian Cricketer Merv Hughes insured his moustache for $360,000.
Abbott and Costello insured their famous "Who's on First?" sketch for a total of $250,000 in case the two of them parted ways.
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards insured his hands for $1.6m
Bruce Springsteen's voice: $6m
Gene Simmons' tongue: $1m
Tom Jones insured his damn chest hair for $5m!
They were the first company to insure satellites, and even paid to send astronauts up to space in 1984 to reclaim two satellites!
And lastly, they even insure Santa's beard!
And to add relevance to our conversation, they have indeed insured diamonds before. They insured the Taylor-Burton diamond which was the most expensive in the world. It was insured for $1.1m back in 1969, and Taylor was only allowed to wear it for 30 days a year out in public, and only if she had bodyguards with her.
@@IndiBrony the question of who, was sarcasm. But that's a lot of interesting items to be insured.
I doubt they put a diamond in there it was just a gimmick
I barely remember this era of F1 because I was still young, but I would always remember the Jaguar and Jordan liveries
Icons 🔥
And Ferrari's red Vodafone liveries too, as well as Williams and Mclaren colours and liveries as well, and whatever iconic car, colour and liveries at the time
The early 2000s had the best liveries for me.
Yellow Jordan Benson and Hedges
Green / white Jaguar HSBC / Beck's
Blue / white Williams Compaq
Red / white Ferrari Marlboro / Vodafone
Black / Silver West McLaren Mercedes
Great video, the jaguar story reminds me almost completely of the Toyota one. A big company trying to apply it's expertise outside F1, to F1 without changing it in any way, wasting huge sums of money with no lasting return.
The similarities are definitely there 😄
@@MadeByPerspective really hope Aston Martin doesn’t turn out the same
This a tale of one F1's most expensive failures when Toyota and Ford (Jaguar's then parent company) wasted millions on their F1 projects. Now we have Aston Martin.
In that regard props to Ford for recognising they had no future earlier.
Wasn’t Ford-Cosworth around since the 70’s though? It was if not still the engine with most the all time F1 wins
The indifference to the team by Ford at a corporate level is evident in the question posed during a meeting where they looked at the company's highest earners:
"Who is this Edmund Irvine we're paying millions of dollars to?"
As Red Bull have shown since they bought the team at the end of 2004, the group of people in the team had potential, but Ford seemed to regard anyone who was a manager, as not good enough
That's why Ford doesn't get any respect from me. Look at their automotive sales. Their trucks are old hogs from a bygone era that sell for an outrageous $55,000 US and feel like they're 10 years old. And their stealerships are the most crooked people you'll ever meet. They were known for slapping on hidden fees like crazy to drive up the prices so customers got fed up and walked out the doors. Went to one in my city and the lot is overflowing with overpriced trucks that will never sell.
Not just the green, white and yellow. Look at that GOLD on them wheels!
As clarkson once said, "How hard can it be?"
Turns out very
Why does it feel like a parallel to Aston Martin/Lawrence Stroll....?
Hahah so true
Stubborn owners fail in F1, hence why Haas, a limited budget team are so much better than Aston Martin, youve got to focus on the future and not rush things, for example look how much Alfa improved because they decided to wait and make it a long term project
Günther Steiner knows, because he was managing director at Jaguar F1
@@BeautevilDeath Guenther has done a tremendous job handling Gene Haas's impatience
Gary Anderson has some fantastic insights about his time in F1, especially with Jordan, Stewart and Jaguar.
It's well worth listening to the Bring Back V10s podcast from The Race where he often features.
I live near the Jaguar Land Rover headquarters and the R1, R3 and R4 as well as a Cosworth V10 are all at museums near me - such a gorgeous livery and a real shame they didn't last longer.
Eddie Irvine also stated how the team did not even have a wind tunnel, and that he himself offered to pay for it. In his own words... 'Great idea... horribly executed'.
I didn't know they didn't have one at all! Even into 2002, apparently they were still using a wind tunnel in the US despite being based in Milton Keynes, until the middle of the season when they finally started using a UK one
@@chrisadams3734 Shows how out of touch with reality Jaguar and Ford were. I knew midway through 2001 that the entire team was a big fat joke and would never amount to anything. Why am I not surprised they took soo long to get a wind tunnel...
We can watch it happening again in real time with Team Silverstone AMF1.
The jags were so beautifull still miss them
Funny how energy drink company can do better than literally automotive giant
Red Bull gives you wings
The hype around the Jaguar brand coming to F1 was immense. Such a shame it all went wrong. With all the team principles that came through the doors, it is clear there were problems with the u leadership and culture of the parent company.
I love the story about a senior leader at Ford who upon viewing the highest earners on their payroll, saw that a certain 'member of staff' E Irvine was getting paid millions. He demanded to know who Irvine was in front of the other board members as he'd never heard of him...... It just goes to show that Ford should never have been in charge of an F1 team. The senior leadership team of Ford were completely disconnected from the reality of F1.
An interesting fact to note is that Stewart, Jaguar and Redbull all achieved their first podium position at Monaco.
Although it's great to see Jaguar performing well in Formula E I still can't help but miss their British Racing Green livery it was truly iconic! Aston Martin's livery doesn't even come close to this. The Jaguar logo truly captivated everybody's attention.
I always enjoy seeing your own old school home footage of the previous Melbourn GP's
Get rid of the static effect , it's distracting
Thanks for uploading when there's no RAWE CEEK 🗿
You’re welcome 🔥
The leaping Jaguar goes so well on the back of an F1 car, hot damn.
1:15
Wait a minute, a corporate team boss micromanaging his employees, and telling the designers and engineers how they should be doing their job, even though they are the experts?
This is sounding very similar to another team running a British Racing Green livery, on this years grid.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
I would not be surprised if designers and engineers deliberately went out their way to fail to punish Ford for dictatorial stance.
And the reason they didnt keep Wilson on for 2004 is cuz he was a big, tall heavy guy.
Webber was considered big for an F1 driver at the time at 6' but JWil(RIP) was 6'5" and they simply did not want to build a car around a guy that big despite his talent
I've seen this car in two different museums here in the UK. It certainly is spectacular.
So Aston Martin is basically Jaguar 2.0
no
Listening on my headphones and got the most beautiful jumpscare in my life at 6:45 . The Jaguar F1 cars has and always be one of my favourite liveries in the history of the sport.
Jaguar are the reason I love F1. Started watching F1 in the 00 season. Most beautiful car ever.
I remember getting a jaguar toy in a happy meal and it stilled looked gorgeous. I also think i had a Jordan one too might have to find both once i survive the heatwave.
I love F1 history. Great video 👍
I remember playing with Jaguar and Toyota many times in F1 04 because the cars looked so cool to me. I discovered Formula One that very year, Telecinco had just bought the rights and was going all in with the Alonso hype.
It was beautiful, indeed 😍
That's the first time that I have seen most of those Donkey photos!
And then some sugar drinks company bought them, can't imagine that going well... :D
I guess green is curse ever since Benetton, because now it seems like Aston Martin are heading down the Jag route
Superstition is security
Should have stayed as racing point with the pink and not the green
@@connortremmel tbh having a pink car on the grid was just nice as it was different to usual colours you normally see, it stood out
IMO the biggest inhibitor to Jaguar's F1 venture and the reason for its failure was Ford itself.
This was the fastest 7 mins of my life
I was a huge fan of Jaguar in 2003-2004. I loved the livery and the underdog status. I was very disappointed when they became Red Bull.
If you want a F1 team wanting to do it the ford way, here is an idea.... name your team ford.
Hahaha that would be a good start
And another one on the house: don't strap priceless gems on parts, that are specifically in place to et destroyed when crashing, especially while racing on a track, barely wide enough for a car.... If you need to, put them on the drivers helmet... or better yet, don't add useless weight to a car in a sport, where everyone else ist trying to get rid of weight...
What colour and livery would Ford choose if they do do that? I think Blue or white, but might conflict with Williams in ways, maybe go with their guts or something, so who knows tbh
I think either blue and white, back in the day Williams was bmw and mostly white, so they may go mostly blue? Or they could rip of lotus, for they where the first to use a cosworth engine. Or just leave it as it was with Steward, white withe a big ford logo. The coolest approach, in my opinion, would have been the 60's le mans look. Buuut probably they would have covered their car in diamonds, nose to tail ;)
Admittedly, would love Ford, or Chevrolet to come into F1. I just don't ever seen an American carmaker ever getting into F1 again. Nice video
Favourite livery of all time
V8 Supercar driver James Courtney was a Jaguar test driver back in 2002 when testing at Monza he had a rear suspension failure at close to 200 mph it nearly killed him and ended his F1 dreams he said he remembers Michael Schumacher i pulling from his car
4:35 nice pun
You know you are not driving a real jaaaaaag when you have your diamonds 'borrowed'
Still don't understand to this day how Webber got a front row in that thing
And then, and Then some Guy who owns a Certain Energy Drink Company now Owns Jaguar
The car was such an eye candy!
What have we learned from this? NEVER let an Americian company who knows absolutely nothing about the sport run your team into oblivion. See Mastercard Lola as a prime example. Until Toyota's exit at the end of the 2009 season Jaguar was the most expensive failure in F1
Don't blame a whole country for one brand's actions. I knew Ford ownership of Jaguar wouldn't help. The Blue Oval morons don't know how to manage anything. Their dealerships are all suffering under bloated inventory that won't sell because they let them overprice them by thousands of dollars.
Why does this resemble aston martin SO HARD like mate even the livery
green cars are cursed in F1
4:35 I see what you did there
I just got the 2000 Jaguar press document the other day. Small world huh?
Feels like Aston Martin at the moment. Even have a green car!
We really need a yellow team again. I miss the Renault bumblebee
Especially when the current Alpine livery is so bland.
dude, 1:48 they scored 4 points in 2000 season 😑
Irvine finish P4 (3) in monaco & P6 (1) in malaysia
Here is where I get my f1 history lesson.
Ford remind me of BAR starting from scratch in 1999 with the slogan 'A tradition of excellence', and being laughed at by most of the paddock
What type of upload time is this my brother? Not the aus schedule surely. Much love for QLD Melbourne is ehhhh ;)
Hahah thanks mate. Broadbeach FTW 🙌🏽
JAAAAAG
Just like Aston Martin
They were very pretty cars.
are there 2 neweys in f1? Adrian newey worked for mclaren from 1998 till 2006 so when he worked for jaguar iunno?
Signed a contract with Jaguar but decided to stay at Mclaren
sounds similar to aston martin currently so an energy drink company monster is going to buy this team in future :)
The story of the diamond makes me laugh because I saw conspiracy theories about a heist or a marshal finding the diamond and keeping it to themselves. When the reality is just that diamond are hard, in fact on of the hardest thing in the world, but they are brutal, it means that they are very fragile when it comes to big impact like the crashes we see around Monaco.
And now we have another green team and the story repeats :D
Ironically, Jaguar & AM were technically sister marques under Ford at the turn of the millenium
Coincidence?
@@MrBlazemaster525 Oh really? Didn't kow that, makes it even funnier :D Thanks for mentioning!
@@sprite9849 all good amigo, and yeah
Another point of irony - both F1 entries floundering under.....
Micromanagement and a pigheaded philosophical shift
LOL
Why this story its perfect setup for Aston Martin ? I wonder...
It must be a green thing
Just like Caterham right ? but i love green livery anyway 💚
Ford did a disservice by forcing the Jaguar brand down a dead end. To this day, Jaguar car sales are appalling, it is being propped up by parent company, Tata and impressive sales from Land Rover.
When you want to make a parallel with Aston Martin but half the comments did it already... 😄
Am I the only one who thinks that the Jaguar cars weren’t very good looking? (green is actually my favourite colour too)
The Jaguar looked nice but the Aston Martin looks better imho.
Is it me or having a green livery isn't a good idea for a mordem F1 ?
The fall o jaguar or may I say the rise of redbull racing ft Kimi
The Jaguar hiring Newey is actually false. He was with McLaren until 2005, until Red Bull (which is ex Jaguar) got him to jump ship. And the rest is history we all know.
Correct, he stayed with McLaren until 2005 but Jaguar made a move for him.
Indeed Jaguar contacted him but it was just speculations.
David Coulthard singing to Red Bull played a major part into bringing Newey from McLaren. He was one who convinced RBR to contact Adrian.
The MP4/18 fiasco strained the already burnt relationship between Ron Dennis and Newey, as McLaren was spending millions year after year yet Ferrari kept them at bay and the team was on a dry spell since Hakkinen's back-to-back titles.
Adrian was let go from McLaren in 2005 and singed to Red Bull in 2006, after a gardening leave.
Newey's first contributions in the new team came out in the RB3, the car for 2007.
My favourite team at the time was Jaguar, mostly for the colour on the car and how the liveries look, also because of Eddie Irvine because he's Irish but has to use a British identity because Ireland cannot race because it is a neutral country and such, mostly political issue which is odd because it is a racing sport and dunno why being neutral or such a problem? Anyways, hope you do a video on that and Jaguar was one of the best looking team back then, even if it didn't get the points it needs, so yeah
Nah, it's not neutrality or anything
It's sectarian shit that scared him off using the Irish tricolor
You need to learn geography. Eddie Irvine is from NORTHERN IRELAND. It is part of the UK so he's a British national whether he admits it or not.
How could Jaguar fall they never rose up?
Jaguar has NO excuse. With their budget and the management, they had zero wins and only a podium or two. Not even into 2001, I realized the entire team was a joke. A perfect example of Just because you have the big name doesn't mean you should...
i feel like green isn’t a good colour to paint your car…
So Aston Martin 20 years ago.
A supposedly true story about the jaguar F1 team that highlights the level of disconnect between Ford management and F1 as a whole goes like this:
In a board meeting between Ford execs and F1 management one of the Ford execs asks angrily: "Who is this Edward Irvine that we pay so much money to?"
I'd love to know what happend to donkey does f1 lol
British Green is cursed
Aston Martin is exactly like jaguar. Hope they get their act right, which ofcourse they wouldn't. There is also similarity to Caterham. (AM and jaguar having funds is the difference) result is the same😂
and all of em are green
Jaguar is actually an indian company and its sad its not thrtr anymorr
Jaguar, Land Rover, Cosworth, Volvo and Aston Martin were once all owned by Ford when it entered Formula 1. Ford then divested all these companies by the late 2000s. Jaguar and Land Rover was sold to Tata.
Wait, I thought Jaguar was a British company, where you getting this from?
@@bradwhite5884 Jaguar Land Rover is based in Britain but owned by India’s Tata Motors which itself is part of the larger Tata Group
Jaguar best season, 2003
I think Jaguar started the green curse. Every good looking green car since they entered and exited has been awful... all 1 of them but either way
Aston Martin is repeating the Jaguar story also they race in green
Ford has been most arrogant and self proud team ( even bigger then ferrari itself ) as we can see in leman and also various example typical american
Yeah, well they beat Ferrari in sportscars so suck it
We need to know how much the donkey sold for
Noooooo
guy doesn't know jack
What are your objections?
Bri'ish car brands in a nutshell:
