Formula One season. The car was driven byGiancarlo Fisichella andTakuma Sato .The EJ12 incorporates heavy design revisions to the front of the chassis, therefore requiring a re-packaged front suspension system. New materials and production techniques have been utilised in the chassis to further reduce weight and the centre of gravity position, with the revised side-pods making the side impact structures smaller, but more efficient.
Due to a drop in sponsorship money the team slipped backwards. Fisichella often exceeded the car's abilities in qualifying, a sixth place on the grid for
Montreal surprising many onlookers. Yet results-wise, the Italian had to make do with a trio of fifth places and a final point fromHungary . Sato showed flashes of speed, but managed just two points, atSuzuka . Despite the drop in form, Jordan still managed sixth in the championship, ahead of BAR.Complete Formula One results
