Malaysian Humidity

Wow! What a cracker of a race we have just seen. The 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix gave us a lot of overtaking, confusing racing, good strategies and an unexpected result. Apart from the first place of course. I think Grands Prix would just be much better if Vettel was not allowed to compete, because he is just far too quick at the moment. Give him the points, but tell him not to actually race - get him to do sheep sheering instead. He looked quite handy at it before Australia.

Of course another Red Bull victory meant we got to hear the amazing Austrian national anthem once again. And what a beaut it is! Why, I could listen to it for days on end and never get bored by it - which is coincidentally what people do when they actually hear the Austrian national anthem.

We had a nice Eddie Jordan moment as well - he forgot a question he was about to give to Jenson Button - then when he asked the question, it was just a statement. It reminded me of his fabulous interview with Dietrich Materschitz which went like this.

EJ: This man has never given an interview before. His teams just won the world championship and he is very shy, and a good friend of mine - so I say congratulations. It was well deserved.


DM: Oh....


EJ: It was just AMAZING! How Vettel is so good yet so young, you must be very proud. 


DM: Hmm....


EJ: Back to Jake.

He also mentioned that McLaren like to do the "hopposite" whatever that meant. I think it's a rogue Irish game he likes to play along with hopscotch and hoperation. I also think his favourite TV show was Hopportunity Knocks.

Anyway onto the clothes.

Eddie Outfit 8: 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix Race


It makes me wonder how Eddie Jordan was unable to ask that question he needed to give to Jenson, and I now know exactly why. He took one look at his shirt and then had a momentary blackout as it fuzzed his brains. That's right! After all it would do that to me!

As you see it's a beautiful white shirt with blue flowers all over - but not like the blue flowers of Spa 2010 (which we will get to at a later date), but ones which are all nice and fuzzy. The tinted glasses however have gone, which is very sad. The chain round his neck still remains, but it's now been added by a light blue Puma belt. This is quite sad - because Eddie is not someone who plays to sponsors - and the thought of him wearing Puma gear all the time now is saddening. Can you imagine if he was forced to wear the same clobber as Usain Bolt? or even the Ghana football team from the World Cup. It would be a disaster.

The problem with this is that there's no white trousers to match, which makes the shirt just look silly, the outfit less ridiculous. This is a 6/10 Eddie in my eyes. It's a pretty crazy shirt, but at least he isnt dressed up in purple which is what Jake likes to do every year it seems.

Eddie Outfit 9 - 2010 Malaysian Grand Prix Raceday RETRO!

Retro Eddie. The problem with this shirt is I actually genuinely like it. Sure it looks like something that my 85 year old gran used to wear before she died, but it isn't too bad. It makes him more competant in front of the camera, as you can see he is being deadly serious and doesn't have lapse of concentration due to a confusing shirt. However this is a shirt which comes with ACCESSORIES!

 

YES! A Storm Trooper's outfit. This was given to him as Eddie as he had to leave early to catch his flight. It's a Force India helmet to aid him on his moped getting out of the racetrack. The thought of Eddie Jordan, in that shirt - white trousers and the Stig Storm Trooper helmet, on top of a bike, probably white to match his clothes makes the whole look quite ridiculous. Thats why it's a controversial 9/10 Eddie's.

Till next time, keep wearing that Eddie gear!

Oh Malay!

2 weeks since the sight of Eddie Jordan, and there's been some new developments. He's had a birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDIE!!! Now, we shall celebrate with a cake; unfortunately DC has managed to get his greedy mitts on it first as this secret photograph explains.

Greedy Coulthard! I'm not sure what he's doing here, but it looks as if he is trying to create circa 1998 Eddie style sideburns with sponge cake. But we know there's only one man who can have that look, and he knows exactly how to party!

Phwoar!!

Anyway, onto the outfits for this weekend. Starting with Thursday, we received a great photograph from the young Jake Humphrey on Twitter of a look of a king!

Malaysia Grand Prix 2011: Special Thursday Edition

It's just a bright pink shirt with a gold Puma logo, with sunglasses with a pink tint. He looks a bit like a twit, but also looks like someone going to golf. So it cant be too crazy a look. This is a 3 Eddie's out of a potential 10.

Malaysia Grand Prix 2011: Saturday Qualifying

Okay, lets cut to the chase - this is fucking awful. Even by Eddie's standards. It's not the first time we've seen that shirt - we saw it last year in Brazil qualifying. I didn't have this blog back then, but I remember it because it was a terrible shirt. However that time he was wearing plain black jeans - today BROWN! with BROWN shoes!! What a joker! He actually is trying to destroy my eyesight at 8am on a Saturday morning - after a late night bender to see this I thought my eyes were seeing things. Nearly called an ambulance. Plus, he has those pink tinted glasses! This is a 9/10 Eddie if ever I've seen one.

However this race is the one year's anniversary of a sad sad event. Eddie's most embarrassing clothes disaster.

Malaysian Grand Prix 2010 - Qualifying RETRO!

 

Poor Eddie. Not only is he stood next to a fine specimen of David Coulthard, but he was almost out-Eddie'd by Jake Humphrey, who's turned up looking like a 1970's Maths teacher minus a wig and polka dot tie, preferably similar guise to the shirt worn today by Eddie. Not to mention Tony Fernandes who's Lotus Racing shirt of 2010 was pretty awful. 

What makes the picture worse is his shirt was basically a woman's blouse. So he's in front of millions of people on British TV, sweating like a motherfucker in a woman's blouse. This is the height of Eddie embarrassment. However the shirt is not as rubbish as today's outing. This is a 7/10 Eddie. 

Til next time, keep Eddie'ing!
