F1- Ron Dennis has a go at Jordan and Coulthard- where

In Brundles article about the Melbourne race he says this:

"McLaren chairman Ron Dennis handed David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan some humble pie live on the BBC show"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/12880809.stm

I missed this and would like to see what was said. Anyone know what program it was during? Post qualifying- presumably? Pre or post race?

Just wondering what program to watch on Iplayer (if I still can!).

Thanks!

James

I think it's metaphoric. The car was much better than anyone ( inc Coulthard and Jordan) was expecting given previous trials and times. So he handed them a "piece of humble pie" on race day.





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Erm.... yes... thankyou! I realise he didn't actually give them a pie!!!


(although I did see Coulthard get given some by Red Bull in a less metaphorical sense!)

Ok, weird, I thought I watched it all and The Forum afterwards as well but somehow missed that bit!

Cheers mate!

Pie

Hi James

He did give them pie each on a plate, live on tv. I have it on the hard disk I think.

I meant metaphoric as in the track performance " showed them doubters what was what". i fhe did serve them pie good on him and his sense of humour.
Anyone got a link to it??
