Fisichella's frustrations continue
For the second race in succession, Giancarlo Fisichella has spoken of his unhappiness at the lack of speed displayed by his Jordan-Ford, after finishing tenth in the Monaco Grand Prix
The Italian criticised the reliability and pace of the team's car after he failed to finish in Austria two weeks ago, and his mood in Monte Carlo wasn't much better, despite the fact that he finished the race.
"I am not happy with my result," he said. "I expected to score some points but we were not quick for most of the race and hardly anyone ahead of me retired. Our pace wasn't so good in the first and second stint but during the last stint, the car was much better and more consistent. I had good pace and was quick at the end but it wasn't enough."
Team boss Eddie Jordan acknowledged the EJ13's lack of performance. "We had good reliability all weekend and the drivers didn't put a wheel wrong at this unforgiving circuit," he said, "but sadly as the moment we need to be quicker, in qualifying especially. We need to work even harder now to improve the car's performance."
