Thanks for the memories Eddie. Sometimes the little guys come out on top.

RIP to a great man, always liked him while he was in F1 and with top gear.

His team ownership era was before I started watching F1, so I only really seen him as a pundit/commentator. But man, what a character. He will be missed by many, RIP Eddie.

RIP Eddie Jordan


Will never forget Spa 1998 - hard to believe that so much happened in that one race, but what a thing to be remembered for - a 1-2 finish at one of the most incredible F1 races of all time.

He was one of the last true privateers in F1. We'll never see his like in the sport again.

RIP Eddie. Crazy what he achieved in life. He was a marketing genius.

Loved his blunt honesty about F1 and still wheeling and dealing up until very recently by landing Adrian Newey a fat contract at Aston Martin

Aww. Really liked his team through the years. Saw him in passing at the Australian GP. We were walking towards each other. I nodded to not be too imposing and he smiled and genuinely said, "Hi, how are you?".
He was by himself and didn't have to say anything. Much respect.

In a world where soo much is corporate, sanitised and devoid of character, a big personality is always going to shine through. Motorsport at the top level is expensive, cut-throat and uncompromising. It comes with a lot of stress and managing your crew is a difficult task because they too are working hard. What Eddie brought to the grid was flair, fun and focus. He never did anything by halves. He was upfront, he was blunt and he was committed to bringing a unique identity to F1 that captured people's hearts in an otherwise cruel place. Even after he stepped down from the team and sold it off, he was there in the paddock to provide valuable insights to millions of viewers. His impact was huge, and the fact that the team still exists as Aston Martin is a testament to his hard work and dedication. Thanks Eddie. Thank you for your infectious energy, thank you for your generosity and thank you for your charisma. You will never be forgotten.
