Eddie Jordan Eyes McLaren and Ferrari

Friday March 3rd, 2000

Jordan's Chief Executive, Eddie Jordan, is clear about what he wants for the 2000 Formula One World Championship. "We have McLaren and Ferrari in our sights. If they drop their guard, we will be in there to challenge them. I will be bitterly disappointed if we do anything less than finish third," he says openly.

"I want to do at least as well as we did last year in terms of our placing in the championship, but I want to do it by winning more points. To stand still or go backwards is not what we want. Whilst there will obviously be a strong challenge from Williams and Jaguar, without being disrespectful to them, it is up to them to catch us.

"Winning is the only thing that I can think about at the moment. It is hard to describe, but it is like a drug I suppose. It is what makes me wake up in the morning. This feeling is the same throughout the team which makes me feel very proud."

Commenting on his team's driver line up for 2000 Jordan says, "Our team has always seemed to work better with younger drivers and I think we have an incredibly strong pairing this year with Heinz-Harald, who has already proved to the world what he is made of, being joined by Jarno Trulli."
