Aw, c'mon everybody, be fair. He may have been talking absolute sh!te all day, but he didn't half look the part!

What could possibly look cooler than a 61 year-old man dressed in a bright blue shirt over white jeans, white shoes, goattee beard and a ferret on his head?

Aaah ****, I was out with the dogs when the pit walk / grid walk was done, and never bothered watching it even though I had it on Sky+ , I just watched the race, bah!

Ed, I know what you mean mate.
Teams would not make a point or want their drivers to know about a big off. But some drivers would indeed like to know and enquire about the drivers condition.

None the less, I wish he would **** off.
As funny as the exchanges between him and anyone he tries to own can be, its getting to the point of irritation now. I almost switch my interest off when he speaks.

I noticed that too. He's a walking Watch advert.

Wonder if he got a bollocking from the BBC for advertising?

Surely there must be an active "get rid of eddie jordan" campaign by now? He is a muppet and talks far too much. On that pitwalk when he came up to bernie and flavio (after brundle tried to lose him lol) he blocks out the entire camera shot.

Like someone else said the only good thing is that we get to see DC rip into him with the factual replies that highlight how much bull he spouts.

Must admit I do like the young chap Jake whoever who watches over them both. He seems very confident and hardly ever puts a word wrong. Was good to see him scaring the hell out of Button for a spin in the merc as well

lol I agree Jake seems like a good apple, and is a pleasure to listen to. The Button / Hamilton drives were superb

There is a "get rid of Eddie" on Facebook, few hundred members now, but nothing major lol.

Thats one good thing about Eddie being there, it allows DC to speak his mind and put the **** in his place Always an amuzing exchange. Being a driver until last year, I think DC is in a better position to say what drivers might be thinking or doing, or even going through in the car.

He was all over Ecclestone and Briatore on the pitwalk - you could see they were uncomfortable about it.

Seems like the one in a million bull****ter who actually got somewhere... although of course it can only get you so far.

DC is still a reserve for RBR ?? Really ! Well I never.
Was nice at qualifying to see someone so welcome in the RBR pit, talking to people and talking the audiance through things. This is what coverage should be all about. Interesting info, friendly exchanges, and educated informative explainations.

EJ always tries to slime over Bernie, but I have to say Bernie clearly tries to avoid having to speak to him. EJ even seems to try to play one up on you to Bernie too. Proves how bad his complex really is.

Couldn't agree more, Les. What an irritating ****. I think he still believes he's commentating for the radio. I have to turn the volume off when he's on (or watch at double speed...)

Whilst EJ is prone to talking sh*te, I find the combination of him, DC and Jake works well.

I'll get me coat..

lol no no, dont go. I agree!
But mainly only for the fact of seeing Eddie getting shot down, and making a **** of himself. I dont feel he adds anything worthwhile to the mix.

No, probably not, but for comedy purposes he can't be beaten IMHO.

I don't like the new commentator Legard guy. All he ever says in qualifying is:

"and is this gonna be good enough"
here comes button
"and is this gonna be good enough"
here comes webber
"and is this gonna be good enough"
here comes vettel
"and is this gonna be good enough"

you get the idea

Yeah that was well funny.

I still don't think you can beat fisichella on the radio a couple of years ago when his team asked him about the car and he said "its f*cking sh*t"
