FORMULA One’s biggest names paid tribute to former team boss and TV pundit Eddie Jordan yesterday after his death at the age of 76.
Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle praised the charismatic ex-racer, saying: “RIP my friend. Condolences to each and every one of your lovely family.
“What a character. What a rock star. What a racer. So many drivers owe you so much, you gave us our chances and believed in us.”
And former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone said: “I am very, very sad because Eddie was a special guy.Impact
“Tell me which team principal today is like him. You can’t give me one because there isn’t one. They don’t make them like that now. We will never replace him in Formula One.”
Sir Keir Starmer also paid tribute, with a Number 10 spokesman adding: “I think everyone has been shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan. The Prime Minister’s thoughts are with his family at such a difficult time.
