COMMENT: Jordan Grand Prix was a Formula One constructor that competed from 1991 to 2005. The team is named after Irish businessman and founder Eddie Jordan. Jordan and his team were well known for a “rock and roll” attitude which added colour and character to Formula One in the 1990s. In early 2005, the team was sold to Midland Group, who competed for one final season as ‘Jordan’, before renaming the team as MF1 Racing for the 2006 season, before being sold later in 2006 to Dutch car manufacturer Spyker Cars to become Spyker F1 for 2007, and then sold again to become Force India in 2008.

Eddie Jordan sells the team to Russian-Canadian. Toyota supplies the engines. The only points the team achieved was during the fiasco at the U.S. Grand Prix when only three teams competed on Bridgestone tires.

The team was created by the renaming of Jordan Grand Prix after its purchase by Canadian businessman, and owner of the Midland Group, Alex Shnaider. The team was registered as the first Russian Formula One team, reflecting Shnaider’s roots, although it continued to be based in the United Kingdom, at Jordan’s Silverstone factory. Towards the end of the 2006 season, the team was sold to Spyker Cars N.V.; the team raced in its last three Grands Prix under the official name “Spyker MF1 Racing”. In 2007 , the team competed as Spyker F1, and in 2008 was sold to Indian billionaire Dr. Vijay Mallya and was renamed Force India Formula One.

SPYKER MF1

Spyker F1 was a Formula One team that competed in the 2007 Formula One World Championship, and was created by Spyker Cars after their buyout of the short-lived Midland F1 team. The change to the Spyker name was accompanied by a switch in racing livery from the red and white previously used by Midland, to an orange and silver scheme—already seen on the Spyker Spyder GT2-R—orange being the national
colour and the auto racing colour of the Netherlands. At the end of the 2007 season the team was sold and renamed Force India Formula One.
