Former Formula 1 team boss and TV analyst Eddie Jordan has died at the age of 76, it has been confirmed.
Jordan revealed his prostate and bladder cancer diagnosis in December, having been diagnosed earlier on in the year.
Formula One CEO, Stefano Domenicali said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan. With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times.
“Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula 1 family are with his family and loved ones.”
The Irishman said last year on his Formula For Success podcast with co-host ex-F1 driver David Coulthard, his cancer had spread into his spine and pelvis and was “very aggressive.”
