  • later that lap,he passed villeneuve in casio,and after 3 laps gaps between them were 13 seconds....so eddie waqst very fast...but not constant....

  • hahaha, nice, very nice Jerking!! You know your wrong on both accounts, yet you persist. Enjoy your life Jerking, its been fun. At least you have been informed on heroism, your grandfather was a real hero.

  • He just overtook SCHUMACHER and Villeneuve in one movement. ONLY.

  • Wow, over taking move on a track that he had driven a hundred times. The guys a loser, always will be.

  • @SStheruler Says one who wasn't vicechampion in F1 :') Fuck off, go back and whine with your little SS club. This move was simply brilliant at racing speeds, by far the best overtake of the year. Youmad?

  • @Jejking Go back to Jerking and playing video games!! Senna, Kimi and Michael all day every day. Irvine had his chance and failed, plus he is a prick half the time. Read all the other comments on here! I got to get back to work, you, go and eat a dick.

  • @SStheruler Jerking, wooow, I'm impressed, never heard that joke before you are really original. Don't go raving on me because I'd be an Irvine fanboy because I'm not. Just putting the differences in between King Eddie and Loser SStheruler (pffrtwhahaha the irony). Go get lost mate, stop criticizing because you haven't ever performed. Maybe you'll see the light someday that pretty much every F1 driver is a hero and it's a ridiculously competitive sport. Peace out homedog.

  • @Jejking Jerking my ol' buddy! touche!!!! But check the facts on that race. Schumacher let that peckerhead by, on a track that he had raced a 100 times. Hardly the pass of the year, get your facts right son. Its remembrance day tomorrow in Canada, those are real heroes man, enough said. RIP to those Canadians that liberated the Netherlands, Peace out homedog.

  • @SStheruler Got a source on that one? No, you don't but I do. Check the FIA online archive 1997. Villeneuve tried to hold the pack up, it came back to bite him when Irvine went for it and was able to sprint away. Inspired move, end of story. And don't try to switch the subject with bringing in the Canadian warriors liberating the Netherlands (more helped), everybody already knows they are and were heroes. And so are the survivors of the work camps, like f.e. my grandfather. Shame, shame on you.

  • Lame!

  • Urvane!

  • double kill

  • Michael is faster than you.

  • eddy was on low fuel to block villeneuve

  • "euhmm, okay eddy, schumacher is faster than you. did you understand that? schumacher is faster than you."

  • The Ferrari look so ugly onboard.

  • Did he pass Villeneuve?

  • @Chrisfm94 He did pass him later that lap around the outside coming into the final chicane

  • good old times

  • Schumacher holds up the ones moving behind it deliberately. pull was good!

  • A versão da RTP!

  • schumacher clearly stop hakkinen to let irvine pass...

  • This was a strategy guys. Villeneuve was driving sub judice and he tried to stop schumi (the only opponent in the championship). Schumacher tried to pass but Villeneuve closed him against the wall of the pit. So the team ordered at Schumi to let Irvine pass to overtake Jacques with all the possible risks. Then schumi wins the race...

  • @tplunka quite smart racing!! but id still wish it was illegal then

  • constructors title should be replaced so team orders arent neccesary

  • I remember this race! he was on lighter fuel to get past the Williams' and then hold them up for Schumi!

  • Eddie, Michael is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?"

  • scheis wolfmother das war geplannt du trottel du sau dummer

  • That was a planned move so the Ferrari team could get Villeneuve pushed back and schumacher pushed through so Schumi would be able to close right up in the championship.

  • Irvine totally should have won that race, screw teamwork lol 

  • The name of the song is "Porto Sentido" from Rui Veloso.

  • was that not safety car conditions and he was just moving to where he should have been?

  • name of the song?

  • Is portuguese this song Rui Veloso - Porto sentido

  • lol thought he would really fly when i read this title :D

  • BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A brilliant move, but Irvine was not constant enough for being more than a number two driver. He had his big chance in the chaos year 1999, but he failed.

  • @olehomer88 Ferrari years could have been so much for him had he made of them. You only have to look at his Jaguar results in comparison to his teammates to see that the talent was certainly there.

  • @WhyGenFM3

    What? Johnny Herbert? He was on his way out of F1 and got a lucky last win in Nurburgring 1999. Then we had Luciano Burti and Pedro de la Rosa, who only got 1 podium in a good McLaren and scored a grand total of 35 points in his entire career.

    Had the Jaguar been better Irvine could have had a longer career.

  • 0:20 was better see Gilles Villeneuve (the dad of Jaquest) ='( RIP Gilles

  • Irvine merecía ganar el campeonato de 1999. Fué una lástima... por un momento Schumacher podría haber sido el escudero en Ferrari.

  • good work.he should be proud.

  • If this were the most exciting moment of the 90's then F-1 must be pretty boRRRRRRRing

  • I dont know if you lot remember but Jacques was holding the field up by 4 seconds a lap in anger because he knew he wasnt going to get any points for this race. Schumacher was also canny enough to realise that letting Eddie Irvine go was the best option in wearing Villeneve down.

  • Grande Domingos Piedades

    "Ah grande Eddie irvine!"

  • At the end of the lap Eddie overtook Villeneuve too!! It was his best race until he had to let Schumacher pass. then also dropped behind Frentzen after the pit-stops. And he had the race in the bag...

  • Swerve

  • don`t worry guys, the author of this video is portuguese, they r idiot by nature!

  • portuguese are not idiot!

  • it`s a Brazilian joke, don`t be ofended!

  • oh,ok sorry

  • Swirvin Irvine

  • Greatest moment of the 90s? Haha, and oh, Eddie never knew how to drive, Class B Formula 1 pilot.

  • da`s true!

  • krampf, das war 1999, in der Saison als Schumi sich sein Bein brach ..

  • Das war doch in der Saison wo Irivine fast Weltmeister wurde, Schumi hat Häkkinen geblockt das Irivine nach vorne kommt.

  • i thought he was going fly like a crash that why i watch this

  • me too...

  • lol

  • I thought his car would be flying through the air - that's why I watched this. -_-

  • yeah his car was lighter on fuel,ross brawn was the mastermind behind this if I remember rightly...

  • even so, this is an extraordinary maneuver. Having said that, eddie was not an extraordinary driver. But he was an extraordinary character !!

  • what a shit

  • Irvine's move was greatly facilitated by the fact that Villeneuve was trying slow the pack down to get others pass Schumi.

    Jacques had failed to slow down under yellow flags in free practice multiple times that year and did it again at Suzuka so the FIA were not going to let him race as a punishment.. Williams made a protest and got Villeneuve start the race but it was almost certain Villeneuve would lose any points he gets. And he did lose the 2 points he got from 5th place at Suzuka.

  • did schumacher sort of slow up to let irvine through pass the mclaren and himself?

  • I didn't think he did. You don't see the Williams pull away from Schumacher, so he didn't lift.

  • Just so you know, it was a fake overtaking maneuvre. It was all planned to get Irvine hunting down Villeneuve.

  • The grip is on the outside through the esses at suzuka, Eddie knew this as he had spent a few years driving in formula nippon before getting into F1, thats why he always drove fairly well at suzuka, knew the track well.

  • Schumi is the best

  • nice move but his car was lighter on fuel i think...

  • wow nice move. he must have been really light on fuel though..

  • music brazilian very lol

  • Fuck you asswhore!

    It's portuguese

  • LOL, Rui Veloso ??!! Epá n combina nada com o video :P

  • pit radio: "sorry eddie, your not allowed to do that, let schumacher past again..."

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!...

    so true...

  • @wolfmother4eva

    back then, i was there tactic to let eddie fly away.

  • @wolfmother4eva even though its clear Schumacher slowed to help Irvine get round the outside. Irvine then went on to pass Villeneuve and block him allowing Schumacher to get past and win.

  • @wolfmother4eva Eurgh, anti-Schumacher teamwork nonsense. Wish someone would post Mika Salo budging over for Irvine in 99.

  • @WhyGenFM3 I saw that race. How convenient that Ferrari's critics always skip over the 99 German GP. Salo blew everyone away (even Hakkinen!) but Ferrari ordered him to let Irvine through.

  • @wolfmother4eva Yes I hate this team orders !

    I am Alonso fan but I was angry when Massa had to lot him pass ! Thats not fair !

  • @wolfmother4eva Yes, but in 1999 missed his chance in suzuka.... He wasn's good enough, that's all

  • when i was "flies"

    i thought that he had flew, litereally

  • me too

  • me toooo

  • me toooooo

  • yay

  • me tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo

  • Hehe

  • @TTFAFF ahhaha me too!!

  • But he did go from 'Irv the swerve' to 'Steady Eddie'

  • Bollocks. Eddie was a great driver who was unlucky to be in a great team as a number two to the greatest F1 driver in history. In 1999 Eddie showed his luck, but more his skill. Great driver, too bad Jaguar sacked him.

  • They fired him coz he's a cocky arrogant man... who knew full well that he signed a contract to join the greatest coward & contract negotiator in f1 history to make sure he had no competition.. when schu broke his leg he could't even beat a jordan in the best car and no team orders.. he sucks!

  • Ferrari was not the best car in 1999.....Eddie still won 4 races

  • yes but only coz schumi was out though...

  • Thats right i have to say. Irvine actually had a clause in his contract that stated he wasnt allowed to pass Schumi or had to let Schumi through if he was behind Eddie....

  • I know of an even bigger failure, Jacques Villeneuve.

  • You mean the World Drivers Champion Jacques Villeneuve?

  • Yes, Jacques Villeneuve 1997 champion.

  • Amazing overtake from Irvine

  • ismaelpaulino got it dead right

  • haha que impressao ouvir comentario em portugues! a musica nao diria que era a mais apropriada, mas gostos nao se discutem, abraço!

  • QuiksilverF1 - Shut the fuck up or write in english!!!

  • he was on a very light fuelload

  • lol......

  • schumacher avait ralentit tout le monde exprès pour laisser passer irvine, et aller au casse pipe pour doubler villeneuve, car schumacher avait peur!

  • Get over it all of you its a move from 1997 Great that was 11 Years ago why are we arguing about that why dont we all just go and watch this years championship and stop arguing like little school girls!

  • Yes , very true but very smart also

  • So Irvine was probably faster than Schumacher (and Villeneuve possibly)?

  • "Great Irvine" says the speaker... :P

    So many year listen crap from his mouth !!

  • @ismaelpaulino yes i agree : But I don't like this : even if I'm italian I don't appreciate the Ferrari startegy like for instance Barrichello allow to Schumacher to overtake him in Austria race (on 2000?) and Massa the same with Alonso this year. Congratulations to Red Bull for their sportmanship strategy during last race In Japan when vettel won even if a victory of Weber can give them more advantage on the Championship drivers. It is not important only to win but also how reach the result!

  • Comment removed

  • @Gamereo:Think before you react.Barrichello had only 6 points,Michael had 54 points,wich means that Michael had a run for the championship and Rubens was alraedy out of championship contention.Ferrari was right to give Michael the victory,It was in 2002 by the way.This year it,t almost the same situation with Alonso and Massa.This time Ferrari is right again.It could cost Ferrari dearly if they let the second driver beat the first driver.

  • @PinoThePizzaman77 I disagree totally! Because the strategy can be right as a team BUT in my opinion the team can't not seek to impose his driver to loose a ride in order to advantage his colleague within the team! This is not correct! Ferrari was the lonely team that do it clearly.: for instance this year Red Bull leave her drivers to compete like in Japan and in the past the same made Mc Laren. Last but not least : I'm italian and Ferrari sustainer but this doesn't allow me to say the truth

  • @Gamereo:But this is the case with all the Formula 1 teams.If one driver has a run for the championship,then the second driver is ordered to help him.It,s the best way to win the championship.By the way,i don,t mind if you disagree.My reaction is not an attack to you.

  • @PinoThePizzaman77 I understand that it is not an attack don't worry: we're only discussing. Sorry but my opinion remain the same: even if I estimate Webber more than Vettel I appreciate the Red bull decision to not interfere in Japan between two drivers. I know that The situation is different respect to massa Alonso or Schumacher Barrichello but consider that in this way they risk to loose the championship: in fact Webber can have +7 points of advantage on Alonso (very important at this point)

  • @ismaelpaulino

    You must be senile. Hakkinen wasn't in contention for the 1997 title. The one they REALLY raced was Jacques Villenueve in the Williams. Where Hakkinen ended in the race didn't matter at all.

    Second of all Jacques Villeneuve had ignored a yellow flag and wasn't allowed to race, his team complained and he was allowed to race but knew damn well whatever his result would be he would most likely be stripped of his points after the race. So he tried to give others a better chance...

  • @ismaelpaulino

    So Villeneuve INTENTIONALLY held up the field behind him and hoped to minimize Schumacher's chance of victory. When Irvine passed, this didn't bother him since Irvine wasn't in contention for the title.

    Hakkinen also brilliantly won in Suzuka in 1998 and 1999, and the same dirty Ferrari tactics (which only they ever get away with a not other team) was tried once again in Nurburgring in 1998 when Irvine tried to hold Hakkinen back. This time I didn't work and Hakkinen won.

  • best moment in F1 of the 90s? Yeah right

  • Too true, Ferrari "sportsmanship"

  • Irvine uncrowned champion of 1999

  • irvine should have won that race butt as commen as it was ferrari were built around micheal schumacher who was the only driver ever to need help to win a championship

  • Fangio, Prost, Gilles Villeneuve, the list goes on of drivers who won championships and that received preferencial treatment, its been going on far longer than your feeble mind seems to be able to comprehend. these drivers were the best of their eras so why shouldnt they get that treatment, they earned it through years of succeeding without it

  • Sorry, Villeneuve did not win a Championship. He came second to his Ferrari team mate Jody Scheckter in 1979 though. Gilles could've won that year but team orders were in favour of Scheckter in order to keep the Williams team behind them. So Monza was the last race Villeneuve knew he could keep a chance for the title and he still obeyed and let Scheckter past. Hence why he was so angry that Pironi disobeyed orders in Imola 1982.

    Gilles is definitely my favourite driver along with Senna.

  • Ronnie Peterson was an honorable sort too. Only him and Andretti had a chance to claim the 1978 title, but the agreement was that Andretti got it. Word got out that he was going to drive for Ferrari next year, so someone said that Peterson could theoretically go for the championship. Peterson merely said, "I gave my word". Gilles, Ronnie. Massively underrated drivers.

  • Your obviously forgetting the treatment lewis hamilton got over fernando alonso, (ok he didnt win) - but still

    I dont think it gets any worse thatn that

  • nitroboost^^

  • Recordacoes do Areeiro. Tempos passam depressa.

  • merda de musica

  • explain

  • Is the kind to say do you know who I am. Is as tight as a Scotsman and didnt even go to his own grand mothers funeral cause he had something else to do like sitting on his yacht

  • That's The Irvine Line, SUZUKA LEGEND!

    What a Great Overtaking !

  • he couldnt do it when it counted against mika,still a ok driver thou

  • Irvine is a Lengend!

  • Great move, a bit different to pulling it off on the video games :P

  • You said it. The pass was brilliant because Eddie was the only one who didn't wimp out. He might not be the fastest driver of his era by a long shot, but his successes and one title chance came about when he showed he had the balls that most others lack.

  • nothing more than ferrari tactic...eddy's ferrari was very light..

  • Amazing Eddie!

  • Greatest F1 moment from the 90s? Are you kidding? Probably just of Irvine's career lol

  • no, that was fucking with Ayrton Senna while driving an inferior car and getting the sporting Brazilian to punch him in the face after the race....

  • canadinandude1974 you would say that jack villiujeve whatever his name is just a wanker and will never be as god as michael schuamcher 91 wins 7 times champ and the best ever so there shut up....

  • never driven on an oval? lol

  • F1 is more challenging than a Oval!

  • Haha, you're funny! You forgot to say that Schumacher never won president's elections.

  • and of course, surprisingly, he did never win against juan manuel fangio.. xD

  • o.0...lol

  • I tought he took a flip as "flying" or something not overtaking, LOL [2]

  • This was the moment of Irvine's career when everybody looked up and said "oh so he CAN driver?"

  • does anyone know where i can download F1 races, or highlights?

  • he used to race in Japan before F1, so he knew Suzuka better than anybody... maybe statistics dont say that, but Eddie was one of the best drivers of that era.

  • What's the song?

  • bons tempos esses, na RTP1... agora isso só dá na SportTV...

  • I tought he took a flip as "flying" or something not overtaking, LOL

  • jdpa00 - my 'greatest moment in F1 in the 90s' has to go to Villeneuve passing Schumacher on the dirty outside of the track around the Senna curve at Estoril, in '96 I believe it was. That pass was amazing, and me being Canadian has nothing to do with it. Coming out of the corner on the outside behind the lap traffic and in its draft to completely obliterate Schumi with balls and oval track technique, that was the best. Oh how I wish the cars were wide again and racing on slicks.

  • Each time i watch a race from Suzuka that Irvine pass comes to mind. It's too bad F1 is moving to the Fuji track - I'll really miss Suzuka. From the first corner to the left curve going up the hill, that was the best section on the F1 calendar.

  • Are there HIGHLIGHTS for the JAPANESE GP 1997?

  • Are there HIGHLIGHTS for the JAPANESE GP 1997?

  • Irvine was decent, yes.

  • a great move. good old eddie knew suzuka like the back of his hand. shame about his error in the big showdown there in 1999 qualifying.

  • no, schumi slowed the mclaremn behind him down, which allowed irvine to pass the two, you should know ferarri team orders by now....

  • F1diva,

    you're a barrichello or a DC fan, right? You must be, considering your opinion of Irvine...

    Yes, the whole world knows that Shumy slowed Hakkinen.

    But...

    1-Eddie did it on the dirty side of the track.

    2-Looking at the leading Willliams (Villeneuve)we see that shumy and mika were only (more or less) 5% slower than usual on that corner...thus making Eddie's move the greatest F1 moment of the 90's!!!!

  • Fair point, don't bite my head off lol. And btw i am not a fan of DC, he's overated nowdays and Barichello, hes a desent driver but im not a fan. Kimi and Webber are my fave guys!

  • So what, it was still a pass around the OUTSIDE of the 'S' corners, where there was little grip and it was at 160mph+. Pretty balsy I would say my son.

  • it was a good pass for sure but not a great one, but fair dos he pulled it off

  • While I never liked Irvine, that was a pretty ballsy move, not only risking taking himself out by passing on the outside, but also risking taking his teammate out as well. Like digitalmp3player said, very nice.
