Eddie Jordan accuses FIA of deliberate red flag action against Max Verstappen:
– Former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan has accused ex-FIA race director Niels Wittich of intentionally timing a red flag to disadvantage Max Verstappen during the Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying session.
– The session, moved to Sunday morning due to heavy rain, saw Verstappen eliminated early, a setback he overcame spectacularly to win the rain-affected race by 19.5 seconds. This victory extended his championship lead over Lando Norris to 62 points, putting Verstappen on the verge of a fourth consecutive title.
– On the Formula For Success podcast, Jordan claimed the red flag decisions were deliberate, clashing with co-host David Coulthard.
“Are you telling me that Max was dealt a fair deal? Was he dealt a fair deal when the red flag came out six cars, seven cars later?” Jordan questioned.
“Come on, David, don’t be stupid. You know the gods are in Lando’s hands. They want Lando to win this Championship. But he’s not going to, because Max has outfoxed him.”
– Coulthard attempted to dismiss the suggestion, attributing outcomes to “the luck of the racing gods,” but Jordan persisted:
“The red flag was wrong! It was a mistake! He f***** up, didn’t he!”
– Despite starting from P17 after a grid penalty for a new ICE, Verstappen’s dominant drive at Interlagos further solidified his championship credentials.

Eddie Jordan is a superstar that tells it how it really is and Coulthard failed spectacularly with his usual go between shpeel, as he said 'the luck of racing gods' just doesn't cut it and made him the stooge with a D hat on his head.

Did he accuse the FIA of gifting Max a win he didn't earn or deserve in 2021? I don't want to hear it.

Brazil wasn't even that special of a win - half the places were gained with a safety car, and he had an new engine turned up to 11. Everyone wants to beat the drum with these fake symbolic victories and "struggles" for Max.

ah the gift of Masi. i think the entire world who weren't die hard Max fans were complaining to no end, till this day. i think Mercedes agreed to drop the lawsuit in exchange for Masi's resignation. i still don't think you can beat FIA in a lawsuit though, even for the gift of Masi, the FIA are law in themselves.

i brought this (Eddie Jordan) up because the race director resigned after Brazil, was wondering if this had anything to do with it.

Respectfully, you would be wrong. I'm a die-hard Ferrari fan and have made my case for no wrongdoing in the past. I don’t care to rehash it.

Ha. It’s the best time of all races for us in East Coast Australia. I usually watch the replay Monday morning with a complete social media ban. This is live 5pm on Sunday. Qualifying 5pm Saturday. I even get to have a scotch… or three.

Speaking of which both brands really know their audience…

1.06 seconds faster is huge if it would be in F1 and hardly surprising with MAX at the wheel.
