Lewis Hamilton, George Russell & More F1 Drivers Pay Tribute to Eddie Jordan Ahead of Chinese Grand Prix

The second Formula 1 race of the season is taking place on Sunday (March 23) in Shanghai, China.

Ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix, the drivers, team principals and more took time before the drivers parade to pay tribute to the late Eddie Jordan, who passed away this past week.

Eddie was a racecar driver before starting his own Formula 1 team, Jordan Grand Prix in 1991, where he gave Michael Schumacher his debut season.

Current F1 drivers, including Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and reserve driver Zhou Guanyu, Mercedes’ George Russell, Alpine’s Jack Doohan and more all took a moment prior to the race to honor the late, iconic team owner.

“We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan,” F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali previously shared in a statement. “With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times. Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula 1 family are with his family and loved ones.”

The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix is the second of 24 races this year, with McLaren’s Oscar Piastri starting in first, followed by George in second and Lando Norris in third.
