After Bernie Ecclestone, the name most associated with Formula 1 on a business level is probably Eddie Jordan. A former racing driver, Jordan started the Jordan F1 team after his retirement, running it from 1991 until he decided to sell it in 2005. He also ran Formula 3 and F3000 teams, which gave many legendary drivers their start in racing.
Future World Champions Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Ayrton Senna all made their debuts driving Jordan's cars, and viewed him as a mentor during their early years as competitors. He remains involved in the sport to this day as a TV analyst on race days, and when he's not at track side you may find him in small venues in England or Ireland, playing drums with his band V10. You may recognize the V10 name from a brand of vodka, which is made by a company owned by Jordan.
