was it just me or did the coverage constantly slap Eddie Jordan on the back for his part in Force Indias pole and 2nd place? i realise that many of the staff etc are ex-Jordan, but if i was VJ Mallya id have been very annoyed to have to share the success plaudits with Eddie Jordan! EJ had his time and sold the team, end of story. I suspect that an F1 team is a somewhat different animal than 6-7 years ago.

credit where its due, EJ did well on occasion when it was his team, but cant see how he can be part of Force Indias Spa and current performances.

also how much did you want to slap eddie during the Barry Cello interview?
OK just me then...

Yup the constant references do get rather annoying.. its not like Jordan was even the last owner.

I thought they were taking the micky out of EJ with the constant references...

I found it funny when Eddie said he had visited the factory a few weeks back. I thought he might have gone there to block the access road again with concrete blocks because FI had still not offered to buy the land the access road is on.

I just find it mildly annoying that EJ cant make a quick or concise comment on anything, he always has to flower things up and kiss @r$e before delivering his question/comment.

Other than that, it still beats the scensoredt out of ITV coverage IMO!
