Eddie Jordan is such an idiot. It really makes watching the F1 cringeworthy. It's not even funny. I don't get why they've kept him on for so long? He adds nothing apart from the occasional unneeded insult.

What's the URL for the BBC driver tracker?

Haven't found it yet assume it will appear when the race begins.

At least he hasn't taken EJ or DC with him on the gridwalk this week. Much better on his own for some reason.

Edit: Driver tracker is there as a link on the BBC live page, although obviously not showing anything yet.

Get hold of Webber Martin time for a bit of **** stirring about that wing

I hated him at first. Now though I find him hilarious, particularly the way you can see Humphries and Coulthard practically laughing at everything Jordan says.

He's a bit like BBC's answer to Talksports Mike Parry. Talks nonsense, but amusing nonetheless.

There's no doubt Jenson can race.

Personally, I'd like to see Lewis wipe the floor with Fernando, then have a fist-fight at the end where he kicks his ass

Jenson mentioned he started from 14th and went on to win, a cookie for someone who can tell me which race that was

Flibster · 11 Jul 2010 at 12:47

Oooh....
Not a good version of the national anthem. Should have got the RAF band instead.

Nice thing with the British winners though.

His first win in Hungary?

You should see a Tracker Icon click that and I would turn the sound off as well.

2006 - Hungarian grand prix. Qualified 14th after a 10 place grid penalty for an engine change.
Technically I suppose he qualified 4th so it doesn't really count.

Not according to wiki, started in 4th apparently.

Edit: ah, that makes sense

Flibster · 11 Jul 2010 at 12:52

Coulthard blew it up!

muon · 11 Jul 2010 at 12:53

What just happened? I just switched on.

All I heard is, "remind me not to hire you again", lol.
