Jordan Grand Prix have apologised for "inadvertently" violating the number limit on tyres for a third car during Friday's free practice sessions for the European Grand Prix.

The driver involved with the incident mentioned was Franck Montagny, previously test driver with Renault F1 team.

"Inadvertently during (Friday's) Free Practice sessions at Nurburgring, Jordan Grand Prix used more than the permitted amount of tyres to Car no 39 driven by Franck Montagny, contrary to article 74(a) of the Sporting Regulations," Jordan F1 said in its release.

"This was an honest mistake by the Team and we realise now it was against the current regulations. No unfair advantage was sought and we believe none has been gained.

"We apologise to the FIA for this error in judgement," Jordan's Sporting Director Trevor Carlin said in the statement.
