Jordan tells staff to keep the faith
Eddie Jordan has declared his desire to return to winning ways to his remaining 200-plus workforce after last week's job losses at his Silverstone factory
Jordan laid off 40 members of staff before the Spanish Grand Prix in an attempt to streamline the operation. He admitted that the team was going through a rough patch - it has yet to register a point in 2002 - but insisted that brighter days are ahead.
"This past week has been tough," he told his workers. "But now we must move on and work harder than ever. I am here to emphasise that I am more passionate than ever about Jordan achieving success. I want to win a world championship. I know that seems a far-off goal at present, but don't let's forget that two years ago Jordan was winning races and McLaren was lapping the competition. Things change quickly in our business."
Henri Durand, Jordan's director of development and design, gave the team a run down of the company's revised technical structure and a debrief of the race weekend in Spain.
"It is clear that our current performance is unacceptable," he said. "But now we have a number of developments in the pipeline. Our car is not weak in any specific area, so we are working on a number of fronts to develop it."
