The history of F1 is filled with iconic team owners; extraordinary characters who went above and beyond to build cars and go racing. But it’s fair to say that when they made Eddie Jordan – this week’s guest on our podcast, Beyond The Grid, presented by Bose - they broke the mould.

Many fans will remember ‘EJ’ for his fun-loving attitude and his larger than life personality, which was embodied in his team. But in a candid discussion with Tom Clarkson, he admits Jordan’s rock and roll attitude was something of a façade – and one that helped his squad perform some of their giant killing antics.

“(McLaren team boss) Ron Dennis could never get over it. He’d say 'When are you going to get over it and be serious?’, and that was perfect because we were so serious,” says Jordan, who led his team to four wins over 250 Grands Prix, with a high watermark of third place in the constructors’ standings in 1999.

“Behind that façade there was something wickedly competitive – such a desire to beat McLaren and everybody else. The people on the outside thought ‘they don’t know what they’re doing’ and from that point of view that was perfect for us."

From his own career as a driver to the inside story of how Michael Schumacher came to make his debut for Jordan and much, much more, EJ brings plenty of stories to the table from an incredible life in motor sport.

Sebastian Vettel has indicated he has no plans to change his approach at the start of races based on what happened in Singapore, describing the costly crash which eliminated him from the last round as ‘part of racing’.

The Ferrari driver lost major ground in the race for the world title at Marina Bay after clashing with team mate Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen off the line, leaving the door open for rival Lewis Hamilton to win the Grand Prix and extend his championship lead to 28 points.

The stewards ruled that nobody was predominantly to blame for the incident, but Verstappen pointed the finger at Vettel for squeezing him in an attempt to maintain his position.

However, when all three drivers addressed the media ahead of this weekend’s race in Malaysia, Vettel said he was focused on looking ahead, rather than on analysing what had gone before.

“Every start is different, and the way Singapore happened you can look at it again and again; it doesn’t matter. First of all it’s done, and second I think it was pretty unfortunate for all three of us so we want to move on.

This role involves generally managing the logistics of each F1 Grand Prix, inspecting cars in parc fermé before a race, enforcing FIA rules and controlling the lights which start each race. As the head of the race officials, the race director also plays a large role in sorting disputes amongst teams and drivers. Penalties, such as drive-through penalties (and stop-and-go penalties), demotions on a pre-race start grid, race disqualifications, and fines can all be handed out should parties break regulations. Up to 2019, the race director in Formula One was Charlie Whiting, who died in March 2019.[60]

Where can I find the latest F1 schedule?

Find out about all races in the current season here.

What can I watch on the historic archive?

Right now, you can watch a selection of full race replays and highlights. You’ll also find a series of documentaries on F1 drivers, teams and race technology (not all are available in the UK or ROI).

We’ll keep on adding to the historic archive, so keep your eye out. Please note, digitising archived content takes time as we not only need to take from reels and tape, but also need to search for commentary and sync with the video. We are constantly adding archive races and attempt to put key highlights up initially followed by the full race where possible.

How do I find out the race time in my location?

You can choose to follow the race schedule in your local time, or the race location time. Here’s how:

Head to the Racing section in the F1 App Pick your event Select between ‘My Time’ or ‘Track Time’

For additional help and support, please email general@en.formula1.com

Why isn’t F1 TV available in my country?

Rights restrictions mean we can’t offer F1 TV in every country. But we’re always working hard to add more countries each season, so check the F1 TV Country Availability for updates.

For additional help and support, please email general@en.formula1.com

Will you add more content to F1 TV?

You bet! Over the next season, we’ll add more content, documentaries and supported devices. We’re always looking for new ways to make F1 TV better, and to bring more race data and strategy into the experience.

The Services you can access (as well as when content will be accessible from) in your Home Territory will be set out on the F1 TV Content Schedule. If your Home Territory is an EU member state or a country to which the EU Portability Regulation, Regulation 2017/1128, applies at the relevant time (each a “Portability Territory”), you will be able to access the content you have access to in your Home Territory in all Portability Territories.

Your right to access content outside the Portability Territories will be subject to any rights restrictions we are subject to in the country from which you attempt to access the Services.

If your Home Territory is not a Portability Territory, your right to access content outside your Home Territory will be subject to any rights restrictions we are subject to in the country from which you attempt to access the Services.

Apple App Store Refunds:

Launch Mail from your Home screen. Search for "Your receipt from Apple" if it's not immediately visible. Tap on the receipt for the purchase you want refunded. (Unless you remember the date, there's no way to tell which receipt is which unless you tap it to open it, so you might end up tapping a lot...) Tap Report a Problem next to the purchase you want to report. You will be redirected to Apple's problem reports page. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted. Tap Choose Problem and select a problem from the menu. Follow the prompt to either submit the problem, visit iTunes Store support, or contact the app developer directly.

Login into My Account. Head to the ‘Auto-Renew’ section. Click ‘cancel subscription’. You’ll be able to access F1 TV until the end of your subscription period.

I’m trying to update my payment details but it doesn’t go through/the button is greyed out, can you help?

Where this doesn't work, please note the following:

The payment must be made with a VISA credit, Visa debit or MasterCard that allows International payments or transfers. The 16 digit number should be inserted with no spaces. Your card must be from the country where you are residing and from where you intend to pay for the subscription as we will validate both country and IP address. Ensure that your name is written in the exact same way as it appears on your credit card (for example if there are dots, middle initials include them too). It is preferable to use a PC or laptop using the Google Chrome browser to make the payment. Try clearing the cache, enable cookies and try subscribing again. You may need to attempt to perform the payment process from incognito/privacy mode in case the previous steps do not work.

If all else fails, we are on hand to help, simply email us on billing@en.formula1.com or click on the chat button (bottom right hand side of this page)

Do I need different logins for the F1 app and F1 TV website?

No, you can use the same login details across web, iOS, Android and Amazon devices.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

How many different devices can I log into at the same time and how many video feeds can I watch at the same time?

It is possible to connect to three devices at the same time. Once you log into a fourth, your device with the oldest connection will drop.

We will only allow one video stream per account at any one time so you will not be able to watch across multiple devices. You can of course watch video on one device and keep track of key stats like live timing and tyre info. Please note, head to head / battle mode is considered as one stream.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

What are the minimum broadband requirements?

There’s no single answer for this, but we can give you a rough guide.

F1 TV uses something called ‘adaptive bitrate’ playback. It’s a bit of tech that dynamically adjusts the quality of your video stream, based on your connection speed.

If your connection speed changes – for example, if the network is congested or you’re sharing your connection with other devices – F1 TV will automatically lower the quality of your video stream. This way, you can keep on viewing without interruption.

In general, we advise from 7Mbps through to watching on a high-res stream which probably needs closer to 10Mb. Remember: this is only a guide, and depends on things like bit rates, latency, and the processing power of your PC or device.

Having problems?

Make sure your computer or device is up to date with the latest patches (and your video card’s drivers are current). Turn off hardware acceleration. This can cause choppy video playback. Increase your virtual memory. This can improve video playback.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

What are the minimum PC/Mac requirements?

Using a Windows machine? We recommend:

• 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel® Atom™ 1.8GHz or faster processor for netbooks • 2GB of RAM; 512MB of graphics memory

Using a Mac?

• Intel Core™ i3 1.83GHz or faster processor • 2GB of RAM; 512MB of graphics memory

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

How come my F1 app isn’t working?

You might not have the latest version of the app:

Make sure you’ve downloaded the latest version of the F1 app. Check that you’re using the login details linked to your subscription. You can do that in My Account. Make sure you’re using the latest version of your web or mobile browser

Still not working? Get in touch for more help.

How come the on-board cameras aren’t working?

Sometimes the on-board cameras can cut out, due to signal blackspots on the track. Our engineers are already working to get things running again as soon as possible.

But since the inside of an F1 car can get extremely hot, there are times when even our engineers can’t fix an overheated microphone or broken connection. We always try to anticipate a breakdown, but can’t always fix it until the session / race is over.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

Do you comply with EU Regulation on cross-border portability of online content services?

Yes. We’re fully compliant with Regulation (EU) 2017/1128 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on cross-border portability of online content services in the internal market.

This means that if you subscribe from within a F1TV Pro territory and travel anywhere within the EU, you will still be able to access F1TV.

For additional help and support, please email general@en.formula1.com

What content can I access in my country?

You can find out what content is available in your home country in the F1 TV Country Availability

If you live in the EU – or a country where the EU Portability Regulation (Regulation EU 2017/2018) – you can access your subscription in any country where the regulation applies.

For additional help and support, please email general@en.formula1.com

How do I view video in full screen in Chrome?

When using Google Chrome (version 71.0.3578.98), press play to start the video, right click in the video and press “show controls”. Then double click on the video to view in full screen.

To return to a smaller screen view, press Esc.

I have an Apple/Android device with a subscription from months ago and now my new Android/Apple device is not being recognized?

If you have an Android device, please perform the following steps:

Make sure you're online from your device, using the same account that you originally used to buy the subscription. Uninstall the Official Formula 1 App. Go to Application Manager to clear Google Play data and cache. Restart your device. Re-install the Official Formula 1 App. The App should then re-activate your subscription.

If you have an Apple device that uses iOS, please perform these other steps:

Make sure you're online from your device, using the same account / Apple ID that you originally used to buy the subscription Where applicable, Un-install the Official Formula 1 App. Install the Official Formula 1 App. Tap on More, Restore purchases Restart your device.

Also, it is possible that you may need to perform this last set of steps when using iOS:

Make sure you're online from your device, using the same account / Apple ID that you originally used to buy the F1 subscription. Uninstall the Official Formula 1 TV App. Restart your device. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores Tap your Apple ID and password Tap Sign Out Enter your Apple ID (same used to purchase) Search for the Official Formula 1 TV App & download it (you should see a cloud icon next to it; if the icon is not there, this means the Apple ID you're using did not download this app before) The purchase should be restored when you boot the app and login.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

Can I change the bitrate for my video feed?

Not manually as F1 TV uses something called ‘adaptive bitrate’ playback. It’s a bit of tech that dynamically adjusts the quality of your video stream, based on your connection speed.

If your connection speed changes – for example, if the network is congested or you’re sharing your connection with other devices – F1 TV will automatically lower the quality of your video stream. This way you can keep on viewing without interruption.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

How do I change the language?

In order to change the language of the F1TV website, please navigate to the bottom of the page, click on either the EN, DE, ES, FR or NE icon and select the appropriate language.

If you want to change the language of the commentary of a race event, please click on the Headphones icon in the lower right corner and choose the appropriate language.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.

Why can’t I hear the commentary on my Apple device?

If you are using Apple device, please make sure that the volume of the ringer can be heard out load and that the phone is not in silent mode.

Also, please make sure that the media volume is turned up. This is necessary because the F1TV App uses the volume of the ringer for the sound level itself.

For additional help and support, please email technical@en.formula1.com.
