Longtime Formula 1 team owner and businessman Eddie Jordan died Thursday. He was 76.
Jordan owned the Jordan Grand Prix team that competed from 1991 through 2005. Over 250 races in that span, Jordan drivers won four races and scored 19 podium finishes and the team provided seven-time champion Michael Schumacher with his first chance in Formula 1.
"We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan," F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali said in a statement.
"With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times.
