Eddie Jordan claims a BBC producer 'went ballistic' after he spoke Irish with Michael Fassbender on an F1 grid walk a decade ago.
Jordan has been one of the biggest names in the sport ever since he founded his own team Jordan Grand Prix in 1991. He spent 15 years as team principal before spending another few years as a pundit on BBC's F1 coverage.
Part of Jordan's role in the BBC was to do the grid walk before the beginning of Grand Prix's. Similar to what Martin Brundle now does for Sky Sports, Jordan would speak to famous spectators ahead of the race's beginning.
