About Jordan
Jordan Grand Prix, founded by the charismatic Irishman Eddie Jordan, joined Formula 1 in 1991 and immediately became one of the most popular and colourful teams on the grid. Operating on a modest budget against the giants of the sport, Jordan punched far above its weight and had a famous knack for spotting talent.
The team gave Michael Schumacher his Formula 1 debut at the 1991 Belgian Grand Prix before he was poached by Benetton. Jordan's bright livery and rock-and-roll image made it a fan favourite, and the team reached its peak in 1998 and 1999, winning races with Damon Hill and Heinz-Harald Frentzen and finishing third in the 1999 constructors' championship.
Rising costs eventually caught up with the independent squad, and it was sold in 2005. Through subsequent ownership changes the team continued under various names, forming part of the lineage that races on the modern grid.
