LONDON: Flamboyant former Formula One team owner Eddie Jordan died Thursday aged 76 after battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

The Irishman revealed in December that he was suffering with bladder and prostate cancer, which had spread to his spine and pelvis.

"It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur," his family said in a statement.

"He passed away peacefully with family by his side in Cape Town in the early hours of 20th March 2025 at the age of 76, after battling with an aggressive form of prostate cancer for the past 12 months."

The charismatic Jordan, who was a budding racer before turning his attention to team ownership, achieved rare success as an independent team owner in the fiercely competitive world of Formula One.
