I miss the old Jordan-Honda. Their yellow cars were the best looking. :yes:

:(

Yeah, I really liked the Jordan team. Their yellow cars were great looking, particularly their 1999 livery. Their old 7Up colours were great too.

Another small team I miss is Minardi. They had a lot of soul and passion, so it was a shame to see them go. I also loved Stoddart's outspoken comments.

It's sad to have seen Tyrell and Brabham die out as well. They were great names and did a fair bit for Formula One.

The team that I miss most is Lotus. Without Chapman's innovations Formula One would be stuck God-knows-how-many years in the past.


I miss Minardi the best, sure they lost almost every race but it still was fun to watch them. It was a transition team if you think about it.

I miss Jordan, and the slogans they used to put on the cars for the places where advertising cigarettes was banned, like 'Biting and Hissing' instead of Benson and Hedges :hehe:

There was also Bitten and Hisses in 1997 when they had the snake on the nose. And for Hockenheim that year Fisichella also had "Fisssssssssssss" on his rear wing and I remember Murray just totally out of nowhere saying "Fissssssssssssssss-ichella". :lol:
