The car was fast, but the reliability was terrible. Without the points dropped in Australia and Monaco, they could have challenged Williams for 3rd place in the championship at least. Trulli in these days was massively unlucky. I believe he lost a second place in Germany because of an unjust stop-and-go penalty.
The reliability absolutely killed this car. Frentzen could/would have challenged Barrichello for the win until the engine let go at Hockenheim (he was the only one besides Barrichello to stick it out on slicks when everyone started pitting for inters). I remember hearing Frentzen talk about this car. He said it was a step from the 99 car, but at the cost of reliability. And also that not only the other top teams made a step from 99 to 2000, but some of the lower teams did. Look at say how Stewart/Jaguar dropped off from 99 to 2000 like Jordan, and then how Arrows & Sauber improved in the same respect
Prost dropped to very bottom as we all know with Peugeot being so bad in reliability and how horrible the Prost-Peugeot AP-03 car was in its aero performance it's not funny.
IMO I seem to think that maybe Jordan should have made a deal to get the full works Honda engines too along with B.A.R. instead of having to wait one more year and rely on the old Mugen badged Honda engines. They may have worked in 1999 for Frentzen but for 2000 it was very clear that while the Mugen badged Honda engines have won 4 races in its' history (first was with Olivier Panis at Monaco '96 for Ligier) including 3 with Jordan it certainly wasn't going to cut it. While Frentzen and Trulli were a brilliant driver duo, but had they had a more reliable car along with a full works Honda engine they could've gotten more in 2000 with Frentzen being able to compete for the world championship again as he had the talent to do it, but never got the machinery, it was never going to happen at Sauber or Williams. I was hoping it would've happened at Jordan I'm not gonna lie, but I'm guessing this shows it just wasn't meant to be.
Hi, will you do these videos? Alan Jones & Patrick Tambay 1986 Alain Prost 1980, 1982, 1987 & 1991 Ivan Capelli 1992 Jenson Button 2001 Jody Scheckter 1980 Emerson Fittipaldi 1980 Mario Andretti 1980 & 1981 Carlos Reutemann 1979 Nelson Piquet 1984 & 1989 Rene Arnoux 1987, 1988 & 1989 Mika Hakkinen 1991 Damon Hill 1999
Damon Hill has a video already. His 1997 season was more unlucky than 1999 tbh. Mika Hakkinen has one already from 1995, because he nearly died. It's highly unlikely he'll be able to do anything from the 1970's or 1980's. Better suggestions would be Rubens Barrichello or Jenson Button or the Honda full team combination from 2007 or 2008 Michael Schumacher 2005 Ferrari or any year from his 3 years at Mercedes-Benz Sure Jenson Button had an unlucky season with Benetton/Renault in 2001 but 2007 was the bigger heartbreak after competing for race wins in a full on works Honda car back in 2006. Michael Schumacher in 2005 minus the Farce of Indianapolis had a horrible year thanks to the stupid no tire pit stop rule. 1999 would work also because had he not broke his leg, Ferrari could've had their first double world championship in the Schumacher era.

its good to have you back man.
Indeed. But he may not have more immediately.
I'm glad ur back bro.
19 chassis failures. Racing was interesting back then, thanks to the unpredictability. Not like now.
From what I’ve seen, a big part of the problem was that Jordan went too drastic in getting the car’s weight down which severely affected reliability.

Trulli 2002 please
nothing unlucky about it
then shut up.
