I will only miss Mark Webber driving for Jaguar because Ford's higher ups couldn't cut it.

2003, and Eddie Irvine finishing 3rd at Monza were the only things I remember from the team (excluding Stewart days)[/list]

Well, for me, they are certainly F1's biggest underachiever before Toyota. Coming into F1 with big hopes, but never met their expectations. Seems that they have no leader, first Rahal then Lauda now Pitchforth. Hope someone will buy them.

I was watching Lupin the 3rd (an old school anime) last night and it was about the Monaco Grand Prix... Lupin was leading until he crashed out of the race (a plot to escape some people chasing him) and Niki Lauda won. In fact the character looked just like him. Does anybody know when (if ever) Lauda won the race?

Actually I miss Lotus, Tyrrell and Brabham. Jaguar not on the list, sorry.

Lauda won Monaco twice, in 1975 & 1976. In 1975 he was second behind Lupin until he crashed. In 1976 Lauda was again a distant second, the leader was Daytarn III but he had to abandon the race at the second last lap because Meganoids did attack Earth...

Like Reca I also miss Lotus, Tyrrell and Brabham....but I also miss Simtek...they might have not done a whole lot while in Formula 1 but they fought trough though times....they lost a driver....and that isn't easy to cope with even for the big teams....but a team in their third GP it's even harder! They could have acheived something if it wasn't for the tradegy!

I think nobody will miss jaguar and they have only themselves to blame for. They haven't achieved a thing in the F1 during their staying.

I am greatly disappointed in Jaguar. Stewart Ford was one of the reasons why I started getting intersted in F1. When I heard Ford was taking over the project I was extremely excited. Now they are lame-os.

I miss Ligier the most, because Gauloises was one damn good cigarette.
