Former Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan has died aged 76.
Jordan had an F1 team, Jordan Grand Prix, from 1991 to 2005 and was a former shareholder of Celtic Football Club.
Last year, the Irishman revealed he was diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of cancer. Jordan said he suffered with bladder and prostate cancer which spread to his spine and pelvis.
A family statement on Thursday read: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur.
“He passed away peacefully with family by his side in Cape Town in the early hours of 20 March 2025.”

Jordan continued to be involved in F1 as a broadcaster for the BBC and Channel 4 after his stint as team owner and managed legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey.
Over the last 18 months, Jordan oversaw Newey’s transfer from Red Bull to Aston Martin.
Away from F1, Jordan led a consortium that bought rugby union club London Irish out of administration.
