A lasting legacy

Founder of the team that bore his name, he revolutionised Formula 1 in the 1990s, discovering talents such as Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. His family added: “EJ brought an abundance of charisma, energy and Irish charm everywhere he went. We all have a huge hole missing without his presence. He will be missed by so many people, but he leaves us with tonnes of great memories to keep us smiling through our sorrow.”

Jordan’s relationship with Monaco was more than purely professional. A long-time resident, he had become a familiar face on the Rock, and was often spotted in Monte Carlo’s iconic establishments.
