F1 but Jaguar actually care: 2000

Jaguar's first season in 2000 pretty much went as expected, building on the success the Stewart team had the yeat before. They scored points in 16 of the 17 races, and got 4 podiums with a best finish of 2nd. Eddie Irvine was the better driver of the year, getting podiums at Nurburgring, Monza and Malaysia, where the team had their best race of the season, beating every pretty convicingly apart for champions Ferrari. He scored points in every race he finished, but retired from 6 of them which cost him 5th in the championship to Ralf Schumacher. Johnny Herbert was the clear number 2 driver, finishing 2 points behind Irvine but mainly because he only had 1/3 of the retirements Irvine had. However, he did almost win the British Grand Prix for a second time due to a risky strategy in wet conditions, only being overtaken by eventual champion Michael Schumacher with 3 laps to go. Herbert would retire at the end of the season, with CART Champion Juan Pablo Montoya making the move to Jaguar in 2001.
