Team boss Eddie Jordan was disappointed with the result of today's European Grand Prix, but the Irishman found some consolation in the fact that both his drivers made it to the end of the race.
"Obviously it's disappointing to work so hard and not get anything in return, but it was positive to have two reliable cars get to the finish," said Jordan after the race. "We are doing everything in our power to get ourselves into a better position."
The Silverstone-based team dropped down to sixth place in the Constructors' Championship after both Giancarlo Fisichella and Ralph Firman failed to score a point in today's race. Fisichella, who nearly stalled his car at the start of the race, went on to finish in 12th position.
Briton Firman finished right in front of his teammate, both men two laps down.
"I had a good start and first couple of corners, but straight away the circuit was very different from yesterday," said Firman. "The car had oversteer and I struggled with that through the whole race - even when the circuit picked up grip we didn't make up any lap time, which is obviously quite disappointing.
"It was a very difficult race so I'm looking ahead to the next one."
