Eddie Jordan banned by Schumacher family all the way to death

 F1 icon Eddie Jordan banned by Schumacher family all the way to death

Jordan’s family first announced the news through a public statement where it was announced he died peacefully with his family by his side in Cape Town, South Africa.

Tributes flooded in for the F1 icon from across the world on Friday morning, but there was one tribute missing from the initial flood of messages.

Jordan famously gave F1 legend Michael Schumacher his first drive in Formula 1 in 1991.

The pair shared a close friendship throughout Schumacher’s career when the seven-time world champion retired for a second time in 2012.

Eddie managed the Jordan F1 team from 1991 to 2005 — and spoke about his love for Schumacher in recent interviews.
