Damon Hill said Formula One has lost ‘a true legend’ following the death of former team owner Eddie Jordan on Thursday, aged 76.

Jordan, who ran his own team between 1991 and 2005 and handed Michael Schumacher his debut, revealed in December that he was suffering with bladder and prostate cancer which had spread to his spine and pelvis. He died in Cape Town in the early hours of Thursday with his family at his bedside.
