Eddie Irvine

Eddie at times is a person who says what he thinks. He can be at times very nice but also he can very Controversial. He love parties and sometimes doesn't realize what normal people go through in life to work and get money to put food on the table, that was said by his own sister! Eddie Irvine as the driver for me is a determining hard knuckle that even made the late Aryton Senna furious after un lapping himself at Suzuka in Japan 1993. Which lead to Senna punching Eddie in the face to his surprise! He continue with Jordan for 2 more years showing his skill at Jerez in 1994 to come fourth and a third place at Canadian Grand Prix. He eventually went to Ferrari where he ...  Read the complete review

How can anyone not be drawn to this great character who has the personality that epitomises Formula 1 racing car drivers.

Eddie has been a favourite of mine ever since I saw him cause a 3 car pile up not long into his formula one career. Unlike most of the corporate clowns in formula one Eddie Irvine is one of lifes true characters. Ok, so he might be a true international playboy who changes his supermodel girlfriends as often as his clothes but he never hides the fact. Eddie enjoys the trappings that his status brings and isn't afraid to enjoy them. Unfortunatly all these outside distractions do mean that Eddie will never fulfill his potential but at least the remainder of his career will be an interesting one. If only a few more drivers were as reckless and as free with there opinions ...  Read the complete review
