Eddie Jordan in wrist watch worry…

Eddie Jordan in wrist watch worry...

 

Concern has been expressed in the F1 paddock for the health of Eddie Jordan, following the news that his wrist watch now weighs in excess of 5 kilos and that the stress of lifting up the microphone to bicker pointlessly… with David Coulthard could lead to irreparable upper arm damage.

For much of the season EJ has decided to dress like a handsomely paid deck hand with a well glued on hairdo, but it is the ever increasing size of his watch (seen here in a relatively sensible size in Melbourne) that has people worried.

Said one source close to the Beeb; “The watch just gets bigger at each race, during the Hungarian GP weekend his right hand was dragging on the ground – if it goes on like this, by the time we get to Abu Dhabi it will be the size of a grandfather clock.”

 

 

Get well soon Felipe

Get well soon Felipe

Grand Prix Diary is back from its cycling odyssey across northern France, which ended in a sports bar in Paris with the Tour de France coming past just ten feet away and with the Hungarian Grand Prix on the big… screen TV. Things rarely get any better.

Sadly of course the weekend was marred by the awful accident suffered by Felipe Massa, something our merry band were blissfully unaware of until the race programme started.

We wish Felipe the very best with his recovery and we sincerely hope to see him back in action before too long.

Ferrari boss, Luca di Montezemolo put it best, when being pressed by an insensitive journalist as to who would take Massa’s place in the team, by responding; “The most important thing now is the recovery of Felipe the man, not Felipe the driver.”

Here, here.

 

 

Grand Prix Diary is away

Grand Prix Diary is away

Despite the fact that there is the small matter of the Hungarian GP this week, it is going to be a bit on the quiet side around here, as Grand Prix Diary’s staff of one is getting on his bike… to cycle from London to Paris in aid of (a) Action Medical Research, a charity primarily looking into raising funds for research into premature birth and (b) to get to Paris in time to see a Spaniard beat a Texan in the Tour de France.

Please be sure to come back, and if you feel like giving a few pounds/euros/dollars to our charity (£1650 raised so far) we’d be dead chuffed!
