Donington reveal ‘Plan B’

Donington reveal 'Plan B'

Now the legal wrangles are hopefully behind them, Donington Park chief’s are pushing ahead with building work at the track with the hope of being ready for next years British Grand Prix. However, with the prospect of a long wet… summer holding things up, they are working on an audacious plan to make sure the race can be held.

Specialist engineers are building a tunnel, that will start at East Midlands Airport, link via the Channel Tunnel and the Trans-Europe oil pipeline, before popping up near the Istanbul Park Circuit. Visitors will make the 18 hour journey in a series of eco-friendly trams with a park and ride facility at each end.

With Turkey having a great track and no spectators and the UK having loads of spectators and only the hope of a track, the solution should keep all parties happy.

Get fit with Eddie

Get fit with Eddie

Istanbul Park, Saturday. Former team boss and personal irritant to David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan, today announced that the two most unfit drivers he ever employed were Giancarlo Fisichella and Eddie Irvine.

According to EJ, Irvine (left) often struggled to make… it to the door, though thankfully he did finally manage to reach it and escape to a life of luxury with Ferrari and Jaguar, before retiring to spend more time with his money.

Jordan, who had no less than 30 drivers race for him in F1, must know his stuff (his BBC colleague, Jake Humphrey, does remind us of this a lot) but EJ’s comments on fitness may have been ill advised, as during a walk up the pitlane with Jake and Coulthard, Eddie was out of puff by the time they got to the Red Bull pit and when the trio reached Renault, he was well and truly knackered - but was still expected to interview Flavio Briatore.

Eddie then posed a long, breathless, question to Flavio that would have had an asthmatic reaching for his inhaler but with Briatore being in one of his totally incomprehensible moods, nobody was any the wiser.

No change there then.
