My Take
What I admire about Eddie Jordan is the sheer audacity of the arc: a Bank of Ireland clerk who walked away from a steady desk to chase karting at 22, and ended up founding a Formula One team that bore his own name. That is not a calculated career move; it is a gambler's leap. I think his real genius was personality as much as machinery, which is why he reinvented himself so smoothly as a broadcaster after the racing ended. His passing in 2025 closed the book on a genuine maverick, and motorsport felt his absence immediately.
