Eddie Jordan's Life Lessons Celebrated in New Book Following F1 Icon's Death

Eddie Jordan, the late Formula One team owner and pundit, was renowned not just for his achievements in motorsport but for his guiding philosophy encapsulated by the acronym 'FTB' — 'F**k the Begrudgers' — which symbolized defiance, resilience, and a refusal to let negativity impede success and joy. This mantra was so central to Jordan's life that he and his four children had it tattooed on their wrists, reflecting his fearless attitude and refusal to be silenced or deterred by criticism throughout his career. His wife, Marie Jordan, emphasized how this ethos was evident in his personality from the 1970s and throughout his public and private life, marking him as a formidable figure who was unapologetically outspoken. The recently published book "Eddie Jordan: Full Throttle" distills 25 life principles from his experiences, supplemented by over 60 contributions from friends and notable figures like Bono, Shane Lowry, and Michael D Higgins, offering insight into his unique approach to life and business. Jordan was also recognized for his role as a BBC presenter alongside Jake Humphrey and David Coulthard, where his candid style made him a memorable and influential presence. His passing in March 2024 after battling cancer was met with widespread tributes that celebrated both his accomplishments and the impact of his irrepressible character.
