Jordan 191
The Jordan 191 was the first Formula 1 - racing cars of Jordan Grand Prix .
Races
The car designed by Gary Anderson took part in all 16 races of the 1991 Formula 1 season , was driven by five drivers, drove a fastest race lap (Gachot at the Hungarian Grand Prix ), as well as two fourth and fifth places and three sixth - whereby the team finished the constructors' championship with 13 points in its first season in fifth of twelve places. The V8 engine was a Cosworth HB IV that was at the 1990 level of development.
The Italian Andrea de Cesaris was the only driver to take part in all race weekends. Beside him the Belgian Bertrand Gachot drove the first ten races of the season. After Gachot attacked a London taxi driver with an irritant gas and was imprisoned for two months, team boss Eddie Jordan had to look for a new driver for the Belgian Grand Prix . Jordan first wanted to sign the experienced Swede Stefan Johansson , but was convinced by the financial dowry of the young German Michael Schumacher , so that he made his Formula 1 debut. Schumacher qualified in seventh place - the best qualifying position for a Jordan up to that point - but retired after 500 meters with a clutch damage . Due to his impressive performance, he drove for the Benetton - Ford team at the next race in Monza and swapped his Jordan cockpit with the Brazilian Roberto Moreno , who was replaced after two races by the debut Italian Alessandro Zanardi . Zanardi contested the last three races of the season and finished ninth twice.
