Jordan blocks Force India entrance in land row.
In a dispute over land, former Jordan Grand Prix owner Eddie J൩ordan has barred the entrance to Force India's Formula 1 headqꦜuarters at Silverstone using two-tonne concrete blocks
The action has forced factory staff to use a single-track side road to get to work after the three-metre-l💧ong blocks were delivered by crane. The blocks were laid out along both the main road to the factory - which was owned by Jordan until he sold out to Midland F1 at the end of 2005 - and the visitor car park.

The blocks were laid ꦦout along both the main road to the factory - which was owned by Jordan until he sold out to Midland F1 at the end of 2005 - and the visitor car park.
The Irishman acknowledged that he had ordered the blocks to 🌞be installed, in an effort to get Force India to open negotiations to purchase a section of the site that he still ow꧒ns.
"I had to make a stand," the 60-year-old is quoted as having said by international news agency Reuters. "They have to come and talk to me. 🍬I paid for the road𓂃 and put it on my land.
"I've got no problem with Force India co-owner Vijay Mallya. It's the people wh🍎o are managing the business who don't want to talk."
Visitors to the site have been instructed to avoid the main entrance and instead use a side road which is signposted as a bridꦗleway to access the factory.
"We do not want to make an official comment on this matter as the facts speak 💧for themselves," insisted Force India spokesperson Lucy Nell. "The factory is functioning as normal and staff and visitors are accessing the facil𓂃ity."
