In 2000, the drivers of Jaguar were Ferrari's eddie irvine and veteran Johnny Herbert, and the engine supplier was Cosworth. Jaguar started to participate in the F 1 Grand Prix with its long-term experience and skills in Le Mans. The initial goal was to concentrate on learning.
Since the establishment of Jaguar Racing, the team has been troubled by internal personnel changes for many times. It was not until August 200012000 that Niki Lauda, the former world champion, won the support of Ford Group as the team owner, and the team's appearance changed slightly. In 2002, eddie irvine and Delarossa were out of step. Only veteran Owen scored 8 points for the team in the whole year, and the team ranked seventh. This achievement made Niki Lauda lose the trust of Forte Group and be replaced. In the 2003 season, Jaguar racing boldly launched F 1, and Webber, who had only participated for one year, partnered with novice Anthony Pizzonia, and Webber ranked 10 among drivers with a total score of 17. The team is still in seventh place. In 2004, the team lineup was changed to mark webber and Justine Klein.
It is said that Australian driver mark webber will quit F 1 next year, and is currently in contact with Porsche to prepare for a transfer to Le Mans. Porsche won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 16 times. They will return to Le Mans next year to participate in the LMP 1 race, and they will conduct a new car test later this year. In Sepang, Malaysia, teammate Vettel snatched the championship from Weber regardless of the team's designation. After this scene, the Australian's determination to leave Red Bull became more determined. German media Bild reported that Weber was in talks with Porsche, hoping to get the seat of Le Mans driver. In fact, there was such a rumor in the middle of last year, when Weber had not renewed his contract with Red Bull. In February of this year, Weber also said that he only cared about Porsche returning to Le Mans as a fan, not getting the driver's seat. "Like everyone else, I am only interested in this sport. I know that Porsche will return to Le Mans in 20 14. " Weber said, "This news is exciting." According to industry speculation, Weber is about to quit F 1 racing, and his main job at present is to fulfill the work contract with Red Bull Racing Team in 20 13 season. Weber once represented Mercedes-Benz in Le Mans twice in the 1990s, the most famous being the rollover accident of 1999. At present, Porsche has not confirmed the driver lineup of 20 14 participating in Le Mans.
