Eddie Jordan was stern but fair to teammates Ralf Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella after every team owner’s nightmare came true for Jordan at the 1997 Luxembourg Grand Prix.
Between 1991 and 2005, Eddie Jordan ran his own team, Jordan Grand Prix, in Formula One. The team started in 1979 and joined the premier class in 1991, hiring Gary Anderson as chief designer. In 1997, drivers Ralf Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella were involved in a crash at the Luxembourg Grand Prix, along with Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari. Jordan was furious and expressed his anger, calling the drivers derogatory names and threatening to fire them. Despite calming down later, Jordan believed that the incident cost the team a chance to win their first Grand Prix. As punishment, Ralf and Giancarlo were made to spend a week repairing the cars at the factory, to understand the impact of their actions on the team.
