The Jordan-Ford EJ13 has a credible case to be one of the worst Formula 1 cars ever to win a Grand Prix. It would be a colossal understatement to suggest that its shock victory courtesy of Giancarlo Fisichella at the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix came against the run of play during a season in which it proved slower than all bar Minardi by a metric of supertimes.
Taking the chaotic, prematurely concluded Interlagos race out of the equation, Fisichella only outscored rookie team-mate Ralph Firman by a metric of 2-1 by finishing seventh at Indianapolis. Firman’s only point with the car that habitually brought up the tail end of the midfield behind Jaguar (usually qualifying better in Mark Webber’s hands than it raced), Toyota, BAR and Sauber came with eighth in Barcelona.
