A single letter changed Michael Schumacher’s destiny and F1 history
Eddie Jordan made the bold move from British F3 to F3000 in 1983, paving the way for his entrance into F1 in 1991 with the iconic Jordan 191. The green car, powered by a V8 Ford Cosworth engine and driven by Andrea de Cesaris and Bertrand Gachot, made a strong impact with a four-five finish in Canada. Despite fierce competition from top teams like McLaren and Ferrari, Jordan achieved more points in Mexico, France, Britain, and Germany, ultimately finishing an impressive fifth in their debut season. The Belgian Grand Prix became iconic with the debut of Michael Schumacher, stepping in for Gachot who was serving time in prison for an altercation in London. Schumacher’s exceptional performance at Spa marked the beginning of his legendary F1 career, earning praise from racing legends like Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost.
