Things came good again at the penultimate round of the championship, held in the USA. Trulli finished fourth, with Alesi finishing his 200th Grand Prix in seventh. However, Jarno was disqualified from the results after a technical infringement was found on his car. However, in an appeal held after the season had finished the team won the case and had Trulli's result reinstated. This was a crucial victory off the track, as it raised the team back up to fifth in the Constructors' Championship, and back ahead of BAR.
