Eddie Jordan, the legendary F1 team owner, has passed away at the age of 76.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Jordan initially climbed the ladder as a budding racer in the 1970s and early 1980s in the Irish Kart Championship and categories such as Formula Ford, Formula 3 and Formula 2.

Jordan formed a single-seater team by the end of the 1970s, rising the ranks until he secured entry on the Formula 1 grid in 1991, overseeing Michael Schumacher's debut. Over the years, many other big-name drivers raced for Eddie Jordan Racing, including Rubens Barrichello, Martin Brundle, Damon Hill and Jean Alesi.

In 2009, Jordan began his media career with BBC Sport, and in 2016, he was selected as a presenter for Top Gear and Channel 4's C4F1. He later started the "Formula For Success" podcast alongside BBC and Channel 4 presenter David Coulthard.
