Australian Grand Prix- Preview 1st, 2nd, 3rd March Jaguar Racing's 2002 campaign kicks off in earnest next week

with the opening round of the FIA Formula One World Championship, the Qantas Australian Grand Prix. After seven weeks of intense testing covering over 8700 kilometres, the team is looking forward to what promises to be another challenging season.

Niki Lauda, Team Principal
"It's been a very hectic two months since we launched our new car and it's finally time to go racing. The Jaguar R3 could have experienced a better birth, but everybody here has worked tirelessly to address the problems we started the year with. There is no standing still in Formula One and our development work will continue right up until the last race in Japan.

Our race package for Melbourne could certainly have done with more test mileage and the winter test ban is to blame for this. We are understanding the R3 all the time, but we could have done with more time on the test track. Nonetheless, everybody is in the same boat and this will undoubtedly add to the spectacle. In addition to preparing the car, we have also been very busy on the commercial side. Castrol, Du Pont and EDS have recently joined forces with Jaguar Racing in partnerships that will undoubtedly support us in our mutual goal of competing hard this season. There is no point in making predictions about how we'll finish the season. It is impossible to say, especially with so much uncertainty over how our competition has faired during testing. One thing is for sure - we must aim for a big improvement over last year and with Guenther Steiner (Managing Director) now leading the engineering division, I am keen to get started with what promises to be a very interesting season ahead."

Eddie Irvine
"It's been a strange winter with months of waiting, followed by a period of intense activity since our launch on 4th January. Our problems in testing with the new car have been well documented, but Formula One has never been an easy option CONTINUE >>
