LONDON -- Following are facts and figures about the Jordan team heading into the 2001 Formula One season:

2001 Outlook

Hoping to regain the top three status they held in 1999 with a new Honda engine deal and unchanged line-up. Last season was dogged by technical problems and bad luck. Have lost some important staff, notably technical director Mike Gascoyne to Benetton, but making a real push to show Honda that they mean business. German Heinz-Harald Frentzen is a race winner while Italian Jarno Trulli is very highly-rated. Will be interesting to see how they compare to BAR, using same Honda engine.
