Staff at the Force India factory, next to the South Northamptonshire circuit, are having to use a single-track side road to get to work after the three-metre-long blocks were delivered by crane earlier this month.
The blocks have been laid along both the main road to the former Jordan factory, which Mr Jordan sold in 2005, and the visitor car park.
Mr Jordan said they had been installed at his instruction because he wanted Force India to buy a section of the site he still owns.
Force India spokesman Lucy Nell said: “We do not want to make an official comment on this matter as the facts speak for themselves. The factory is functioning as normal and staff and visitors are accessing the facility.”NORTHAMPTON
The Irish entrepreneur sold the team that is now Force India to Midland before the 2006 season but kept ownership of some of the surrounding land.
“I had to make a stand, they have to come and talk to me,” he said. “I paid for the road and put it on my land.”
“I’ve got no problem with (Indian billionaire and Force India co-owner Vijay) Mallya,” he added. “It’s the people who are managing the business who don’t want to talk.” MORUNG EXPRESS
Local sources said concrete blocks had been placed across the main access while Force India were in Malaysia for last weekend’s second race of the season and employees were having to use another entrance.
Jordan said that he had waited for two years for the factory owners to open talks about buying the rest of the land.NZHERALD
