Still, these changes are sweeping and smack of slight panic. BAR did the same thing and, despite of all the talk by Jacques about how great Richards is and how the clearout was necessary, the changes haven't really been translated onto the track yet.
Now don't get me wrong, the changes at BAR and Jordan are ofcourse with the long-term in mind. However, what they both need right now is short term fixes. And in my view that can only really come from the direction of Honda. Short-term fixes may not work as part of a long-term strategy, but kudos is important on the F1 grid and both teams are losing it fast. OK, di BAR ever have it?? Proabably not, but Jordan have spent years trying to get their team into the big-league and into the position as being "best of the rest". That title is slipping fast.
