Ralf Schumacher has disputed Eddie Jordan’s version of events, ov💙er their notorious falling-out at Silverstone.

The tꦇeam owner recalled how his eventual split with his driver♐ was sparked by an argument with Michael Schumacher, earlier in 1998.

Ra💝lf and Jordan would go their separate ways after the ‘98 Fo🥀rmula 1 season and their relationship went sour at the British Grand Prix.

Jordan told Ralf on the  podcast: “I was never sure ✨how close you were to Michael.

꧟“He came to me in Spa and said ‘Ralf will𒆙 never drive for you again!’

“I took out my palm and said ‘there is a buyout clause in the contract, pay the money and off he g♒oes! No problem!’

“He was quiet, and he went. Eventually…

“I believe it was a mistaꦿke because the ‘99 car was a world championship car. You could have won the⭕ championship in that car.”

Ra𝓡lf hit 💫back: “But that wasn’t the way it happened, Eddie…”

Jordan𒐪 insisted: “You went to Williams for the monౠey!”

Ralf said: “You forgot why? ꧅You really forgot why? You don’t remember what you called me?

“I was lying on my boat one day. EJ called me and said ‘I know we have a shitty car but we desperatel⭕y need points’.

“He called me and said ‘if you don’t s🅘core points you🌠 are out of the car’.

“I hung up the phone. I said ‘no matter what, we need something else, because I’m not ♑going to work with this guy after this season’.

“That was the way it happened.”

Ralf’s career with the Jordan Grand Prix team was on the line heading i𓆉nto Silverstone in ‘98.

The German driver remembered: “In those d🍸ays, you need to finish seventh to be in the points. In qualifying our beautiful engine blew up so I started last on the grid🔥!

“He came to𝕴 me, on th💧e grid, and said ‘don’t forget what I told you, you are out if you don’t score points’.

“That’s how I went into the r🏅ace. That’🌳s the truth.”

Jordan said: “Was it not good motivation?”

Ralf: “Amazing motivation. I scored points.”

Ralf finished the grand 𒊎prix in sixth, delivering the points that his boss demanded and saving his F1 career in the process.

But he would move to Williams for the 1999 ꦡseason, resulting in the be⭕st period of his career.

But Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who m🌼ade the opposite switch from Williams to Jordan, finished third in the ‘99 season, ahead of both Schumacher brothers.
