About the Jaguar R4
The R4 was Jaguar Racing's 2003 car, built after a management overhaul that put Tony Purnell and David Pitchforth in charge and brought in Mark Webber and Antônio Pizzonia. Its designers concentrated on a much stiffer chassis than the R3's, paired with Cosworth's CR-5 V10, but reliability delays meant it reached the first race with comparatively little mileage as a finished package. Webber crashed heavily in Brazil, an accident that led to the race being red-flagged, but his committed drives brought regular points finishes. Pizzonia lagged behind and was replaced by Justin Wilson after the British Grand Prix.
