The Jordan EJ13 was the car with which the Jordan team competed in the 2003 Formula One season. The car was driven by Giancarlo Fisichella, Ralph Firman and Zsolt Baumgartner who replaced Firman who was injured for two races.
"For 2003, Honda left Jordan to concentrate on their partnership with BAR. Jordan was left with Ford Cosworth engines but was able to win again. The win came under extraordinary circumstances in the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix which took place in torrential weather conditions. Following a massive accident on the start / finish straight, the race was red flagged and stopped. After some initial confusion, Giancarlo Fisichella was initially ruled to have finished a still remarkable second behind Kimi RaikkOnen who took the top step on the podium. However, an FIA inquiry several days later led to Fisichella being officially declared the winner of his first Fl race. Fisichella was, therefore, unable to celebrate his first career victory on the top step of the podium, although he and Raikkonen swapped trophies in a presentation at the following Grand Prix.
Aside from the lucky win, neither Fisichella or new teammate Ralph Firman were able to have any sort of success in their Jordans.
After Firman was injured in practice for the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix Jordan fielded the first ever Hungarian Formula One driver, Zsolt Baumgartner."

"Fisichella got a new teammate, Ralph Firman, who was mainly attracted because of sponsor money. Jordan has been in financial malaise for a year now, but it seems like the car is somehow better this year, especially in the hands of Fisico. Gary Anderson did what he could, but at the end, the Ford engine is not what it takes to be on top.
