Eddie Irvine sentenced to six months in jail

Zcott

For a nightclub brawl in Italy. If he has the balls to punch Ayrton Senna, he'll punch anyone. Article suggests it's unlikely he'll spend any time behind bars, though.

Heard on the radio that the sentence is suspended so he wont be serving any time it seems.

Other way round, actually.

He won't spend a minute in prison, he will appeal it.

BBC NI are reporting that the sentances to both brawlers are likely to be suspended.

Saw a photo of Eddie in the Irish Times today. Man, he has gotten 'heavy around the jowls' as we say at home. He aint no 'George Clooney' threat anymore. I don't feel so bad after putting on a few kgs over the Christmas !!!!.

Didn't Senna deck him??

Yup Senna hit him. Irvine was lapped by Senna the race leader and Irvine unlapped himself. Senna paid Irvine a visit after the race and gave him a slap. Japan 1991

Irvine should've headbutted him back.

Any prison sentence of 2 years or under in Italy automatically becomes a suspended sentence due to some law

I think he's involved in property. Financially at least, he has his head screwed on.

Yes, in the truest sense of the word.

Irvine did embody what I expect to see in a F1 driver though, flamboyant and arrogant and did what they all dream of doing, drive and win for Ferrari.

Anyone see the F1 legends interview he did on Sky Sports F1?

Thought he came across well. Very realistic about his own ability, and has a very high opinion of Schumi. He admits to letting Schumi pass but not due to team orders, just that he was too fast to try and defend against.

But what impressed me most was his criticism of the modern F1, mainly DRS creating manufactured overtaking. He said he wants to see one/two people being streets ahead because that means you have true class within a highly skilled sport.

Following the events of the last few years, this may be open to question.
