Humphrey praises Jordan’s ‘incredible spirit’
TV presenter Jake Humphrey says he is ‘utterly devastated’ by the news of Eddie Jordan’s passing and praised the ‘incredible spirit’ of the former F1 team owner and pundit.
Writing on X, Humphrey said: “Formula One won’t see the likes of Eddie ever again where a guy with a love for racing can hustle his way into the sport and end up winning races.
“His greatest achievements were Mikki, Zoe, Kyle and Zak. His incredible 4 kids who share his spirit. His wife Marie is one of the strongest, most wonderful women I have ever met.
“The 4 years we spent together hosting F1 on the BBC were greatest of my career.
“His incredible spirit and love of life lives on in me, and my children who were lucky enough to meet him and hear all about him.”
