Irvine on Schumi: “A disaster”

Eddie Irvine, who clearly has scores to settle with Michael Schumacher, attacked his former teammate again. He had it in particular critical the day after his dangerous maneuver on Rubens Barrichello during the Hungarian Grand Prix. This time, the Irishman criticizes the 2010 results of the seven-time World Champion.

« On paper, his return was not a bad idea », he told La Gazzetta, confirming the comments he made at the start of the season (see elsewhere). Today, he changes his judgment. “ He had already lost something in 2006, since he was regularly beaten by Felipe Massa. Three years later, he lost even more. Result ? A desaster. »

In addition, the former teammate of the seven-time World Champion affirms that he did not “ no more excuses » to explain his repeated poor performances, when Nico Rosberg regularly achieves top 5s. « He keeps saying "it's a new team and a new car" to explain his results but in 1996, during his first year with Ferrari, his car was bad and he had won three races. »
