About the Jordan EJ12
The EJ12 brought heavy revisions to the front of the chassis and a repackaged front suspension, with new materials and production techniques used to cut weight and lower the centre of gravity. Giancarlo Fisichella, back after four seasons at Benetton, qualified sixth in Montreal and scored three fifth places and a point in Hungary. Debutant Takuma Sato managed two points at Suzuka as a drop in sponsorship money pulled the team backwards. Jordan still finished sixth in the constructors' championship with nine points, ahead of BAR, but lost its works Honda engines for 2003.
