Jordan gets off the hook and takes fifth in Constructors' title
Jordan Grand Prix has won its appeal against the decision by the FIA Stewards at Indianapolis.
The decision is embarrassment for the FIA which failed to abide by its own procedures. It was not clear which of the stewards was at fault but it is likely that there will be ramifications for the individual in question unless there is a sensible excuse given.
The decision means that Jordan ends the season with 19 points in fifth place in the Constructors' Championship while British American Racing drops to sixth place with 17 points.
