Jordan, who ran his own team in Formula One between 1991 and 2005 – before continuing to be involved in the sport as a broadcaster for the BBC and Channel 4 – was also the manager of design guru Adrian Newey.

The 76-year-old was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer last year and, on Thursday morning, his family confirmed that he’d passed away.

Shortly after the news was confirmed, tributes for the F1 legend began pouring in. Among them was Jake Humphreys, who described it as a ‘devastatingly sad and difficult day’ for the sport.
