[...] Undoubtedly, we’ll be watching the possible collaboration with McLaren closely, especially if the rules regarding customer cars are relaxed. Although it won’t come to much if Mercedes are unable to deliver the engines to the team’s headquarters because of a playful Eddie Jordan. [...]

Clive, that is really, really funny! To come up with all the concrete-based gags I missed when writing my blog entry and sticking them in one easy-to-read comment is really neat. No sitting on the (concrete) fence here…

This is absolutely crazy! I blogged about it on Friday after seeing a brief mention of it on a Red Bull press release. Though their version says that Force India defaulted on some payment to Eddie. I found it very amusing - this is typical Eddie-style business methodology. Though quite why the Midland team didn’t buy the factory grounds along with the factory remains a complete mystery to me, especially as I believe some of the grounds has planning permission for an extension to the factory…

I can see Vijay handing over the money (eventually) with a hearty laugh about the whole thing.

This is hardly the way to cement cordial relationships between the two parties. To block all further negotiation seems a little hasty, at least. Clearly there is a blockage in communications and some stonewalling is taking place. Eddie and Force India need to be building towards a better future, rather than gritting their teeth in immovable positions like this. Constructive and concrete solutions should to be sought so that all bricks fall nicely into place - there is no need to be stone-faced about it!
