Ferrari antics damaging the sport, says Jordan

FORMULA One and Ferrari must offer real racing or risk losing fans to other sports offering more drama and excitement, says team chief Eddie Jordan.

The Irish entrepreneur was scathing of Ferrari and world champion Michael Schumacher's behaviour in a US Grand Prix dominated by the Italian team with another one-two finish on Sunday.

"After Austria, this isn't very clever is it?" said Jordan, of Schumacher's slowing down at the line to allow Brazilian team-mate Rubens Barrichello to catch and beat him "It is a very, very financially hostile market at the moment and there were other sports on TV today, one where golf made a huge impact on everyone throughout the globe by hard fighting "People want to see real competition fought to the last ounce. That is what happened in golf, I understand it happened in the superbike race, and people are not going to turn on a Formula One race when they know the end is going to be decided other than by true racing.
