Jordan have had their best qualifying session so far this season in preparation for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Giancarlo hooked up the lap and finished 8th whilst Ralph ended the session in 16th.

Giancarlo was extremely happy with his lap.  “I did a very good lap today, almost perfect." he said. "The car was reasonably good, although I didn’t think we would get on the first four rows so I’m pleased.  We did a good job, the mechanics and everybody, and I’m hoping for a good race tomorrow.  Maybe I will score some points.”

Ralph has a little bit more work to do tomorrow, however with the strength of the Cosworth engine, his chances of a finish are increased. “We made some changes to the car between practice and qualifying which improved the car a lot so I’m pretty happy.  I made a small mistake but I would been in the same position anyway I think.  We’ve got a good car for the race and I’m looking forward to it.” He said afterwards.

“I’m reasonably content with the way it ended up.  To be honest, we will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow but hopefully we’ve got a good strategy and with a bit of luck we can score some points.  Giancarlo drove a good lap and Ralph did his best lap of the weekend and drove well although he made one little mistake.  Overall I’m happy.” Said Gary Anderson.
