Can anyone help me?
I'm trying to remember/piece together the way jordan went downhill after getting close to winning a WDC in '99. Obviously (as some famous designer(patrick?) said) they were not really THAT close to the top and spending big was an error of timing.They should have been a little more realistic and let the growth be more gradual. As i recall,the next years car was built superlight and performed pretty well but had horrid reliability. After that i think gascoine left for a new challenge and eddie grabbed that guy that did the aero work for the 2000/2001(?) model arrows.What was his name?Indian i recall. The trouble was that the great performance (relatively)of the arrows was mostly the work of another engineer*.So eddie got a dud!In fact i think he was sacked before the season was far underway-something about designing the front suspension members wrong so that they broke the rules? Any thoughts or facts that can be added/corrected? *I think it was frank dernie ,the guy who helped out williams last year.I wonder how much input he had as to the great leap in performance mid season? |
