At short notice Aguri Suzuki joined the team for the Pacific Grand Prix but was ill-prepared for an F1 return and failed to perform well. At this GP Barrichello scored his and Jordan's first-ever F1 podium finish, with third place and placing second in the championship only behind Michael Schumacher. At the following San Marino GP, Barrichello was injured in a practice accident and did not start the race that saw the death of Ayrton Senna. Andrea de Cesaris substituted for the still-banned Irvine at San Marino and at the subsequent Monaco Grand Prix where he finished in 4th place. Irvine returned at the Spanish Grand Prix and scored a point for 6th while Barrichello still appeared to suffer following his accident and the death of Senna, his countryman and idol.
