Ralf Schumacher has disputed Eddie Jorda𒆙n’s version of events, over their noto🧸rious falling-out at Silverstone.

The team owner recalled 🌞how his ev🅠entual split with his driver was sparked by an argument with Michael Schumacher, earlier in 1998.

Ralf and Jordan would go their separate ways after 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 how🅘 close you were to Michael.

“He came ♏toಞ me in Spa and said ‘Ralf will 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 goes! No problem!’

“He was quiet, and he went. Eventually…

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

Ralf hit b💝ack: “But that wasn’t the way it happened, Eddie…”

ꩵJordan insisted: “You went to Williamꦕs for the money!”

Ralf said:꧙ “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 s🙈hitty car but we desperat♕ely need points’.

“He called me and said ‘if you don’t score 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 seas🍎on’.

“That was the way it happened.”

Ralf’s career with the Jordan Grand Prix team was on t🗹he li🧸ne heading into Silverstone in ‘98.

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

“He came to me, on the gr🤡id, 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 race🐬. That’s the truth.”

Jordan said: “Was it not good motivation?”

Ralf: “Amazing motivation. I scored points.”

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

But he would move to Williams fo🤡r the 1999 season, resulting in the🐈 best period of his career.

But Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who made t🦩he 🔴opposite switch from Williams to Jordan, finished third in the ‘99 season, ahead of both Schumacher brothers.
