Ralf Schumach﷽er has disputed Eddie Jordan’s version of events, over their notorious falling-out at Silverstone.

The team owner recalled how his eventual split with his driver was sparked by an argument with Michael Schumacher, ea𓂃rlier in 1998🥃.

Ralf and Jordan would go their separate ways after𒁃 the💜 ‘98 Formula 1 season and their relationship went sour at the British Grand Prix.

Jordan told Ralf on the  podcast: “I was never sure h🌸ow close you were to Michael.

“He came to ꦉme in Spa and said ‘Ralf 🅷will never drive for you again!’

“I took out my palm and ꦅsaid ‘there is a buyout clause in the contract, 🃏pay the money and off he goes! No problem!’

“He was quiet, and he went. Eventually…

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

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

Jordan insisted: ๊“You went t🎐o Williams for the money!”

Ralf said: “Y🍰ou forgot why? You really forgot why? You donꩵ’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 b൲ut we desperately need points’.

“He called me and said ‘if you don’t score points you a𝓡re out of the car’.

“I hung up the phone. I said ‘no matter what, we n🌸eed 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 Jor🅠dan Grand Prix team was on the line headi♑ng into Silverstone in ‘98.

The German driver remembered: “In thosꦆe days, you need to finish seventh to be in the 𒊎points. In qualifying our beautiful engine blew up so I started last on the grid!

“He came to me, on the grid, and s🍷aid ‘don’t forget what I told you, you are out if you don’t score points’.

“That’s how I went into the race. That’s the🎃 truth.”

Jordan said: “Was it not good motivation?”

Ralf: “Amazing motivation. I scored points.”

Ralf finished the gra♐nd prix 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 season, resulting in the best perio😼d of his career.

But Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who ma🌺de the opposite switch from Williams to Jordan, finished thir💞d in the ‘99 season, ahead of both Schumacher brothers.
