Briton Trevor Carlin has stood down as Jordan sporting director, the struggling Formula One team said on Thursday.
Jordan said in a statement at the Canadian Grand Prix [Images] that Adrian Burgess, 36, will combine Carlin's job with his current role of sporting manager.
Jordan team boss Colin Kolles acknowledged that Carlin's departure "does create a void" but the Briton would retain an advisory role with the team owned by Russian-born Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider.
Shnaider plans to rename the team Midland next year.
Jordan, with Indian rookie Narain Karthikeyan [Images] and Portugal's Tiago Monteiro, have yet to score a point in seven races so far this year and there has been speculation about the team's future.
