Jordan's only Austrian.

Sponsorship Account Manager Christine Gorham, from Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, is Jordan's only Austrian team member.

She manages several sponsorship accounts including title sponsor Deutsche Post WorldNet, DHL and Danzas, and has been working with Jordan for three years. Prior to joining Jordan, Gorham was Press Manager at Arrows and spent a lengthy and successful stint of her career in the music business.

"I was Vice President of Communications and PR at MTV Europe," she explains, "and we decided to sponsor the Simtek Formula One team, which is how I became involved in F1. Once I was drawn in, I was hooked, and I haven't looked back since."

Gorham is looking forward to the trip to Austria: "I return home whenever possible to catch up with my friends and go skiiing, but the Grand Prix is always a bit different. In many respects the race is just the same as the other 16 in the busy Formula One season, but I have to say that when we're on the way to Spielberg, driving through the beautiful landscape with the trees and mountains, I always get an overwhelming homesickness. I remember where I'm from and I'm very proud of it."

"We had a tough start to this season and as a result there's been some negative publicity, which only makes us more determined to overcome the difficulties and get back to the results we know we are capable of. As this is my home race, it would mean a lot to me if we were to score points here."
