After losing a Honda engine partnership deal to the BAR (now Honda F1) team in 2002 and numberous difficulties within the team (including a very public row and the sacking of Frentzen before his home GP), Jordan was forced to switch to expensive Cosworth engines, The added burden of this plus DHL withdrawing their sponsorship and Benson and Hedges toning down their sponsorship soon added up and the lack of funds made his team go from bad to worse in 2003. However despite this, Jordan delivered an improbable race win in Brazil 2003 courtesy of Giancarlo Fisichella, the first for Fisichella and the last Formula One victory for the Ford Motor Company and the Jordan team.

Now Jordan's steep fall from the glitzy hights of 3rd in the constructors in 1999 was now out of control. Despite new sponsorship from Trust computers and the addition of "Quick" Nick Heidfeld and a promising young rookie in Timo Glock for 2004, Jordan were in serious trouble. Jordan retained complete ownership of his team until 2004 and his rejections of rumoured approaches for buy outs (most notably from Peugeot and Honda) may have cost the team greater success. His famous charisma had enabled him to "finesse" a number of sponsorship deals, without which Jordan Grand Prix would almost certainly have gone the way of Prost Grand Prix or Arrows. At the end it all proved too much for Eddie Jordan. If he did not sell he realised he would soon have to close his doors. A buyer was found in Midland Group financed by wealthy Canadian businesman Alex Schnaider. The dream of Eddie Jordan, his pride and joy, the "rock and roll team", were lost forever to the hard realities of modern Formula 1.
