A fascinating twist has emerged in the story behind Giancarlo Fisichella’s maiden win in the 2003 Brazilian GP with Jordan – one of F1’s most unlikely victories
A fascinating twist has emerged in the story behind one of Formula 1’s most unlikely victories, where Giancarlo Fisichella’s 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix win was secured only after an FIA hearing due to a timekeeping error resolved with critical data from his Jordan team. The confusion stemmed from Fisichella starting lap 56 before the red flag. The critical evidence nearly got lost due to a hire car error in Brazil. Jordan’s data from the car’s electronic control unit proved Fisichella’s position on the track. The ECU was almost lost in a hire car, which, if lost, would have weakened Jordan’s case. The revelation adds an extra layer of intrigue to this iconic F1 victory story.
