TheJordan EJ15 was the fifteenth and lastJordanFormula One car. It was used by the team to compete in the2005 Formula One season. The car was driven byTiago Monteiro andNarain Karthikeyan.[7]

Background

[edit]

Jordan had been left without an engine deal for the2005 season after theFord Motor Company's decision to put their engine supplierCosworth up for sale. However, at short notice,Toyota agreed to supply Jordan with engines identical to those used bytheir own Formula One team and thus Jordan became the first-everToyota F1 customer team and alsoMagneti Marelli electronic control unit (ECU) packages.[8] At the beginning of 2005, the team was sold toMidland Group for US $60 million.[9]

The Jordan name was retained for the2005 Formula One season, before being changed toMF1 Racing for the2006 season. Throughout 2005 journalists questioned whether Midland were in Formula One for the long haul. Rumours circulated throughout the season that the team was for sale, and thatEddie Irvine was interested in buying them. The year also saw the introduction of two rookie drivers,Narain Karthikeyan andTiago Monteiro.

Racing history

Season summary

[edit]

2005 confirmed Jordan's status at the back of the grid. A final podium came at theUnited States Grand Prix, in which only six cars competed. Monteiro led home a Jordan 3–4. Monteiro finished eighth atSpa to give the team its final point and used the EJ15 to finish in all but one race of the season. The team's last grand prix saw a low-key exit; Monteiro finished 11th and Karthikeyan crashed out.

EJ15B

[edit]

Jordan used an updatedEJ15B chassis for the final five races of the year. Monteiro gave the B spec chassis its debut in Italy whilst Karthikeyan still had the previous model. For the following race in Belgium, both drivers used EJ15Bs, and they would both see out the remainder of the season with the new chassis, with Monteiro's 8th place at Spa its best result.[10]

After the season

[edit]

Following the end of the 2005 season, the EJ15B chassis was used in winter testing atJerez in December 2005 by a variety of drivers includingRoman Rusinov,Jeffrey van Hooydonk and Monteiro. This followed the team's rebranding to MF1 Racing, and the car featured an interim testing livery.

Sponsorship and livery

[edit]

Since 1996,Benson & Hedges was the team's main sponsor and continued through its final year until the team led a serious financial problems. In the countries that had a ban on tobacco advertising, it was replaced with either "Be on Edge" or driver names. At theUnited States Grand Prix, Benson & Hedges was replaced withSobranie due to theTobacco Master Settlement Agreement.

At theCanadian Grand Prix, the "Bring Back Hockey" slogan featured on the airbox as a reaction to the2004-05 NHL lockout.
