EJ has spoken about his love of winding Toto Wolff up and assessed his overall management style in F1
Referring back to his own time as a Formula 1 boss, operating the Jordan Grand Prix team between 1991 and 2005, Jordan joked about how he would have handled the situation Wolff finds himself in now with a less competitive F1 car.
“But actually, you’ve got to stand up and take it. You’ve got to be a man, it happened under his watch. He’s the chief executive of the team. My message to Toto was that I would much prefer if he stood up and said ‘look, we have Mercedes are a team, will always be a team and we got this wrong’.”Jordan, who turned 75 years old two weeks ago, said Wolff is in a position to take the flak and shield those under him from criticism by telling the critics to ‘get stuffed’.
“I was kind of ruthless. And if there was flak going around, I would take it or I wanted to take it because I always wanted to safeguard the people who were maybe not quite as proficient at dodging bullets as I was.
