Jordan's Saturday morning practice has not gone to plan, with at least one of the EJ14's being out run by a Minardi during both of the practice runs for the French Grand Prix.

In practice one, Gianmaria Bruni recorded a time faster than Giorgio Pantano with a second Minardi between him and team mate Nick Heidfeld. 

In practice two, Zsolt Baumgartner nudged his Minardi again in front of Giorgio's Jordan, however Nick managed to improve his time to put Gianmaria Bruni to the bottom of the timing sheet.

Things perhaps aren't looking hopeful for this afternoons qualifying session.  The weather conditions will no doubt plat a big part in the session.  Time will tell.
