As the season progressed, both drivers continued to score fairly consistently. Barrichello took 4th places in the British, Italian, Portuguese and Australian Grands Prix, and Irvine was 4th at the European Grand Prix and 5th in the Japanese Grand Prix. At the Belgian Grand Prix, Barrichello recorded the fastest time in Friday qualifying on a rapidly-drying track. With Saturday qualifying wet, no one was able to beat his time, and so he took his and Jordan's first F1 pole position, and became the youngest pole position holder in F1 history, a record which stood until Fernando Alonso took his debut pole position at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix. Barrichello retired from the race following a driving error while lapping a slower car. The season ended with Jordan having scored 28 points, their then highest-ever seasonal score, and having restored themselves to 5th place in the Constructors' Championship behind the 'big four' teams of Williams, Benetton, Ferrari and McLaren.
