This week we celebrate the life of Eddie Jordan. He contributed so much to not only Formula One, but to motorsport in general, and all while proudly flying the Irish flag. This week Neil Kavanagh, our resident motorsport historian, also tells us about Joe Kelly. Not only was Joe the first Irish driver to take part in an F1 race, he took part in the very first F1 race at Silverstone in 1950! On top of all that, he has a surprising link to Ferrari.
