Biography
Debut at Suzuka
Eddie Irvine made his debut for Jordan at the 1993 Japanese Grand Prix, scored a point and made a name for himself straight away: by overtaking Ayrton Senna, who was lapping him, he angered the Brazilian so much that Senna came to confront him after the race and hit him.
The 1999 title fight
From 1996 to 1999 Irvine was Michael Schumacher’s team-mate at Ferrari. In 1999 he took his first win, in Australia, and when Schumacher broke his leg he took over the title challenge and lost out to Mika Häkkinen by just two points. He ended his career at Jaguar and scored both of the podiums in the team’s history.
