Topic: 1993 Japanese Grand Prix


  
 [No title]
Aguri’s promise of giving young Japanese talent a good go in the top category is a fine promise, and he is sticking by it, two Japanese F1 debutants this year, two more drivers to add to that fabulous F1 reject list.
At the 1993 Japanese Grand Prix held at Suzuka, Eddie Irvine found himself attempting to pass another newcomer, Damon Hill for sixth (the final points paying position at the time).
Forget the suspended two-race ban in ’95, forget the ’96 Williams white-wash, forget the 1998 Belgium Grand Prix victory, these achievements and pitfalls of this true Briton shows the grit and determination of a driver when he is confronted with a career defining opportunity and a choice to choose which door to go through.

However, this return also proved to be a failure, and the 1995 Japanese and Australian Grands Prix proved to be his Formula One swansong.
