After Dinner Speakers: Eddie Irvine, Edwin Starr, Jeremy Paxman
Eddie Irvine came into his own in the 1999 season, after his Ferrari team mate, Michael Schumacher, crashed in the British Grand Prix and broke his leg. Previously he had been Schumacher's number two with no wins to his name, but suddenly found himself thrust into the spotlight as Ferrari's only world championship hope, and took victory in four races.
His debut in Formula 1 as lead driver at Jaguar was disappointing, as reliability problems and a lack of speed over a race distance, limited the Ulsterman's opportunities for success. However, fourth place at the Monaco GP garnered him three points, and sixth place in Malaysia saw him score another one.
Returning to Jaguar in 2001, Eddie is certainly more comfortable when he is not playing second fiddle to a Schumacher. A tenacious competitor, his combative streak and blunt approach make him a truly entertaining star from Formula 1.
