A few weeks ago, Eddie Jordan openly spoke about his state of mind following a lengthy battle with illness—a prostate cancer that had left him with little time. His legacy in Formula 1 is immense, having played a key role in launching the careers of legends such as Michael Schumacher, as well as Rubens Barrichello, Giancarlo Fisichella (Jordan Grand Prix’s last winner in 2003), Damon Hill (1996 World Champion), and Heinz-Harald Frentzen.
