F1 Today | F1 mourns the passing of Eddie Jordan, Hamilton on his team radio

On the day leading up to the Chinese Grand Prix, the Formula 1 world unfortunately had to learn that Eddie Jordan has passed away. The Irishman battled with bladder and prostate cancer, which he announced last December. He was 76 years old.

Jordan was a well-liked figure in the world of Formula 1, and many from the paddock sent their condolences. David Coulthard, also had a special post on social media for the Irishman. The two have known each other really well from the paddock and working together in broadcasting, as well as being the co-hosts of their podcast called 'Formula for Success'.

Ralf Schumacher also talked to Sky Sports Germany at length about the former team owner, who gave him and his brother, Michael Schumacher their first chance in Formula 1.

Lewis Hamilton did not understand in China why he was questioned about his communication with his new race engineer, Riccardo Adami. He said in the paddock: "The conversation that Max has with an engineer over the years, the abuse that the poor guy's taken, and you never write about it, but you wrote about the smallest little discussion I had with mine."

To this comment, Red Bull Racing's official social media account responded with a picture of Max Verstappen and Gianpiero Lambiase. Where these by Hamilton comments justified? Find out here!

Charles Leclerc was also asked about his interaction with Bryan Bozzi about the water leakage in his car. The Monegasque driver said that him saying 'let's add that to the words of wisdom' was an inside joke.

In an interview earlier this week, McLaren CEO Zak Brown has predicted that Max Verstappen will begin the 2026 season as a Mercedes driver, adding another layer to the already existing Verstappen transfer rumours. To this, Max's father, Jos Verstappen also replied in social media, in a very clear manner.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen disagreed with George Russell's comments about McLaren's potential dominance in the 2025 season. According to the Mercedes driver, can win every single Grand Prix this year. However, the defending world champion was yet to draw conclusions about the matter.
