The Jordan Formula One team are hoping to rediscover their way at this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

The Jordan Formula One team are hoping to rediscover their way at this weekend's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Ralph Firman's eighth place finish in Spain six races ago is the only point the team has scored since Giancarlo Fisichella's win in Brazil at the start of the season.

Fisichella, who has admitted to wanting a more competitive drive in 2004, failed to finish at Magny-Cours last time out while Firman came home in 15th but the team remain hopeful a return to their Silverstone base will herald a change in fortunes.

"Silverstone is a fairly tough circuit, however, we've had a couple of tests here so I believe we've got a reasonable base line to start from this weekend," said Gary Anderson, Jordan's director of race and test engineering.

"Over the last couple of races we seem to have lost our way a little bit but hopefully we've got ourselves back together again and will improve over the weekend," he said.

"I believe that Bridgestone will be advantageous here, which may give us a better opportunity and also the changeable weather forecast might work in our favour.

He added: "We will go out at Silverstone with a reasonably stable set-up package and work from there. It would be good to get a points result here as it's great to be racing at home."
