Author Description

Eddie Irvine's first season with Ferrari was always going to represent a challenge for him as he struggled to get to grips with a temperamental car and to come to terms with being in the shadow of team-mate and double World Champion Michael Schumacher. In this book, Irvine demonstrates his renewed appetite for the battle on the track as he plays his full part in Ferrari's renaissance as a serious pretender to the Formula One Constructor's throne. Among the 1997 season's highlights, Irvine explains his reaction to the criticism of his aggressive style of driving which led to a pile-up in the Australian Grand Prix, and how his personal goals have changed since his debut season for Ferrari.
