Comes across as a bit of a cock, and I don't think Ted was too keen on him

Senna blocked Derek Warick as a team mate.
Senna blocked Warwick at Lotus because he (quite rightly) thought that Lotus were incapable of fielding 2 competitive cars. He took on Alain Prost in an identical car, in a team that was built around Prost, and beat him resoundingly.
Do you really think he was worried about Derek Warwick???

Good stuff Ted.
Hmmm, I'm not so sure. I think Ted could say that if Ted held a World Championship title. I think Eddie has a point, however ineloquently made.Some of Eddie's points may be valid, but his manner is boorish and rude - so even if I agree with what he says on occasions, I still can't find myself liking him.
Maybe i'd praise Ted if he said that while Eddie could hear, rather than being a sarcastic b
d behind his back. Eddie owes no-one anything, not like everyone else in F1 who has people and sponsors to please, so he's really doing Ted a favour by even agreeing to an interview. I like the way he says what he sees, what else did Ted expect from him?
Wasn't it Ted who also pissed off Button a couple of weeks ago by incinuating that Lewis was faster and the natural team leader in a pretty clumsy way? I don't like the way he seems to belittle some of the f1 drivers, being that he himself only plays a poor bit part role in proceedings anyway, perhaps the most unimportant part of the bbc f1 team.
Whoever and whatever the reason, i'm not sure a BBC reporter should be belittling the achievements of coming second in the WDC (Maybe DC and MB, having been there done that could get away with it). Wonder what Brundle or DC would say to that comment? Surely if Ted thinks Eddie could 'only' manage second then he must think DC's and even more so MB's racing careers were just as/more so unimpressive?
Eddie, love him or hate him, is straight down the line and calls it as he see's it. Ted is a sneaky, sarcastic guy who critisizes those with much more talent and success than himself. I know who i'd rather have a pint with!

This is the point I was making, only far more eloquent!d behind his back.
