Eddie Jordan, the legendary F1 team owner, has passed away at the age of 76.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Jordan was synonymous with motorsport, having initially climbed the ladder as a budding racer before turning his attention to team ownership.
In a spell at the wheel across the 1970s and early 1980s, Jordan tasted success in the Irish Kart Championship and raced in categories such as Formula Ford, Formula 3 and Formula 2, as well as appearing at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.
By the end of the ‘70s, Jordan had set up his own, eponymous outfit on the single-seater scene, steadily rising the ranks until he secured an entry on the F1 grid for 1991.
Jordan famously gave Michael Schumacher his F1 debut during that ’91 campaign, with many other big-name drivers – including the likes of Rubens Barrichello, Martin Brundle, Damon Hill and Jean Alesi – racing for the squad over the years.
