Jordan Saddened by Ford's Decision

Team boss Eddie Jordan said he was saddened by Ford's announcement that both Jaguar and Cosworth Racing have been put up for sale.

Jordan are one of three Formula One teams, including Jaguar and Minardi, who are currently using Cosworth engines. The Silverstone-based squad had a contract with Cosworth for the 2005 season, but Ford's announcement has left the team in a difficult position.

Jordan regretted Ford's decision and said his team will analyse the engine situation.

"My thoughts are with the staff at Browns Lane (Coventry), Cosworth and the Jaguar Racing F1 team as they take this in," said Jordan. "We're saddened by the news as we've enjoyed competing against Jaguar Racing and we have shared the same engine partner for the last two years.

"Jordan will presently analyse its position with regard to engines. On a slightly happier note, I'm proud that history will record Jordan as the last team to win for Ford in its current campaign, at the Brazilian Grand Prix 2003."
