Coulthard shares emotional tribute to Eddie Jordan: 'A gift to F1'

Today, former driver and the founder of Jordan Grand Prix Eddie Jordan has passed away after battling prostate cancer. The Irishman was an important figure in the world of Formula 1, and a good friend of David Coulthard. The Briton shared a touching tribute on social media today.

Coulthard and Jordan have known each other for many years, from the paddock and later from being pundits together in the United Kingdom. Moreover, the two were the co-hosts of the podcast called 'Formula for Success', that was launched in 2023.

In his Instagram post, Coulthard wrote: "Eddie Jordan was a force to be reckoned with beyond what anyone could expect in Formula 1. He was a gift to Formula 1 & he was a gift to Ireland. You never knew quite where his madness would take you next, but you always got there with a smile on your face."

"There will be endless people telling Eddie Jordan stories as long as there is still Formula 1 around. It has been an honour calling him and friend & all of our love to his family & his four children, Mikki, Zoe, Kyle & Zak."
