A Tribute to former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan who has died at the age of 76 - It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the iconic former Formula 1 team boss, entrepreneur, and beloved TV pundit, who has left an indelible mark on the motorsport world and in the hearts of all who knew him. Eddie passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning after a brave battle with aggressive prostate cancer. He was 76 years old.
For over two decades, Eddie Jordan’s team, which bore his name, competed fiercely in Formula 1. Between 1991 and 2005, his team participated in 250 races, securing four unforgettable victories. His passion for the sport, sharp wit, and larger-than-life personality made him a cherished figure both on and off the track.

He was not just a racing legend but a man who made everyone feel welcome and valued. His insightful commentary and witty anecdotes became a staple for many who tuned in, and his contributions to the Monaco community will never be forgotten.
On behalf of all of us at Riviera Radio, we extend our sincerest condolences to Eddie's family, friends, and loved ones. His legacy will live on in the memories of all who had the privilege of knowing him and sharing in his journey. Eddie was more than just a name in motorsport; he was a symbol of passion, dedication, and joy.
Rest in peace, Eddie Jordan. You will be deeply missed.
