Jordan frustration spreads.

The Jordan team's inability to reproduce its 1999 form is beginning to frustrate its drivers, according to Jarno Trulli.

The Italian left Prost hoping for better things at Jordan this year and, while almost any move would have produced an improvement over the French team in 2000, Trulli admits that his season isn't going as well as he had hoped.

''This year should have been one of my greatest in Formula One,'' he sighed, ''but, at the moment, it doesn't look that way. I think that I am performing very well - in Monaco I proved that I could win races - but, as a team, we just don't seem to be able to get the points.''

Trulli did score a single point in Canada last Sunday, but only after having qualified seventh and then watching as Jos Verstappen's Arrows streaked away from him in the wet. The Italian's result was still better than that of team-mate Heinz-Harald Frentzen, however, as the German retired before half distance with a mystery brake problem.

Despite his Montreal disappointment, however, Frentzen is trying to remain optimistic, and points to his late 1999 comeback as a reason to stay cheerful. He went on to take two wins for the team, the first coming in France, two weeks after crashing out of the Canadian GP with brake failure and breaking his leg.

''I was pretty sore when I left Canada last year,'' he admits, '' and thought that there was no way I could be spraying champagne at Magny-Cours. Let's hope that history repeats itself this year.''

Frentzen has been linked with a move to Jaguar for 2001.
