What was Eddie Irvine’s driving style?
Eddie Irvine had an Aggressive Oversteer driving style. He said himself that he would “barrel into the corner and sort it out mid-corner”, much like his former teammate, Michael Schumacher. Irvine focused on getting the car to the apex as quickly as possible, braking hard and late, being aggressive on corner entry. He made many corrections to the steering through the corner, adjusting the balance rather aggressively.
To understand why being aggressive was faster than being smooth in the 1990s, we have to look into Eddie Irvine’s cornering style.
