Martin Brundle has shared an emotional tribute to legendary former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan, who has died aged 76.

Jordan, who last year was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:passed away in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The flamboyant Irishman ran the self-titled Jordan Grand Prix team from 1991 to 2005, winning four raﷺces in 250 entries.

Jor💃dan later went oꦐn to become a broadcaster and worked for BBC Sport and Channel 4.

Br❀undle contested his final grand prix season ꦚwith the Jordan team in 1996 and shared his memories of the F1 icon.

"I'm really sad to hear that Eddie has succumbed♓ to his ill🀅ness,” the Briton said on Sky Sports.

“He's n꧅ot been feeling well for quite a w🔥hile but this has taken him relatively quickly. He was such a character and we will miss him a lot.

"I first raced for Eddie in F3 when we had a pound between us and somehow he hustled and got the car and every♑thing together and we had a great season. That sums him up.

"The൲re are so many drivers in this paddock a♚nd formerly on the grid in F1 that would need to thank him, the likes of Eddie Jordan and Jean Alesi, where Eddie gave us a chance in junior racing and promoted us like crazy to get an F1 seat.

"I was lucky enough to drive for him in F1 itself with the Jordan team to close the circle. Just like many other drivers like Damon Hill, Ralf Schumacher, Giancarlo Fisic🍌hella, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, they were given a chance because of Eddie and his entrepreneurial spirit and racing mentality.

"The sport will be poorer without him bec🌠ause of what he achieved and what he stood for and what a racer he was.”

Eddie Jordan ‘influenced everyone’ positively

1996 𒁃F1 world champion Damon Hill claimed 🧜Jordan’s first race win at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix, leading a stunning 1-2 for the team.

It marked the 22nd an🏅d final victory of Hill’s caree🐈r.

“We’re all very sad and sho💙cked,” Hill told BBC Sport.

“We knew Eddie was fighting the disease and whilst we knew 🎶it was serious we thought there might be a chance that he’d win, but sadly he’✤s lost that.

“They’ll never be anyone like Eddie Jordan. My thoughts just go to the Jordan fa𒅌mily, who are lovely people.

“Eddie was a huge influence on me and many,💙 many people in motorsport and around the world. They’ll never be anyone like him.

“He was 𓃲gregarious, he was irreverent, he was crazy. I lived in Ireland when I raced with Eddie and I was privileged to have won a grand prix 🍷with Eddie and seen the affect he had.

“He influenced everyone. There isn’t a single per🧸son in that era and since really who has not been affected positively by Eddie. He gave a huge amount to cha🤪rity, he never stopped.

“He never wasted a single second of his life and he energised⛦ everyone he was near. It📖’s a huge loss.”
