October 19 2002

A typically tough Japanese GP claimed 8 retirements today including Jaguar driver Pedro de la Rosa. Eddie Irvine, however, drove his Jaguar R3 to ninth place but the team’s sixth place position in the Constructor’s Championship was lost as the Jordan of Sato finished the 53-lap race in fifth place. Instead, Jaguar ends the 2002 season with seventh place in the Constructor’s Championship. A hot and sunny track greeted the drivers for the final race of the season but the problems experienced by Jaguar all weekend got no better with both Eddie and Pedro complaining of a general lack of grip. Pedro’s race, however, ended prematurely with 13 laps to go with a transmission problem.
