    Former Formula One team owner and TV pundit Eddie Jordan has died at
    the age of 76, his family have announced.

    The Dubliner founded Jordan Grand Prix, a team that raced from 1991 to
    2005 and secured four F1 victories in that time.

    A statement from his family said: "It is with profound sadness that we
    announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner,
    TV pundit and entrepreneur.

    "He passed away peacefully with family by his side in Cape Town in the
    early hours of 20 March 2025."

    =====================

    I always liked Eddie, one of the sport's great characters. But maybe
    I'm prejudiced because he was Irish :)

    RIP Eddie!

    With him it was never boring.
    His yellow cars was refreshing on the grid. This team has never been
    so interesting in it's later incarnations.

    He really deserved his OBE title (and I'm not Brit saying so).

    Eddie you will be missed.
