25 years ago, Damon Hill recorded a remarkable debut win for the Jordan team at a sodden Spa — his first since that 1996 championship-winning campaign. It was the culmination of almost a full season of development on the initially disappointing 198. Today's Great Read tells the story of the car that found redemption
Damon Hill's Jordan 198, chassis number 3, sits quietly now, a far cry from the high emotions, drama and ultimate joy of what went on in its cockpit on that wet day in Belgium in 1998 when Hill took Jordan's maiden Formula 1 victory.
You would never imagine this striking black and yellow car, with the trademark Buzzin' Hornet on its nose, bore witness to that truly remarkable moment near the end of that 44-lap race when Hill pushed the radio button on his steering wheel to deliver team boss Eddie Jordan an ultimatum about not being forced to race team-mate Ralf Schumacher.
