Have to agree with you on the Irv point there:
He's my fav. because he's not afraid to speak his mind, he actually posseses a sense of humour, he's dry, ironic, sarcastic and the ultimate playboy. He has personality, something that modern F1 drivers have almost none whatsoever. He's consistent and showed that, given the right equipment, he is capable of competing with the best of them. When the opportunity arose at Ferrari, he was able to come from a long way behind to seriously challenge Mika "side-parting" Hakinnen, a vastly inferior driver. Eddie Irvine is no Shumacher, but he's not half bad. But whereas I can respect good drivers like the HHF's and Trulli's of this world, they all have ZERO CHARISMA!!!
Anyway, back to the topic. Minardi's aim for better grid posisions sadly has NOT paid off. They may be close, but all the others are closer. I remeber when Minardi were mid-grid, only by the default of everyone else being even worse (!). Keep plugging away, chaps; it's getting better.
