Eddie Irvine, former driver for Jordan, Ferrari and Jaguar, has slammed the current state of Formula 1, describing it as a “mess” which “doesn’t make sense.”
The four-time race winner was in the Monza paddock for the Italian GP and spoke to the BBC after the race, in which he took the time to share his view on KERS and DRS.
“Now you’ve got the dropping wing, you’ve got the button to push to make you go faster, so if you can’t overtake with all that s**t going on it’s like … I think it’s a mess,” said the outspoken Northern Irishman.
“You don’t know when they’re on the limiter, you don’t know if they’ve got the EPS [He means DRS], what is it, the wing drops down, the button push. It’s a mess, the formula now is a mess.
“There’s just too much f*****g s**t. You see an overtaking manoeuvre and you don’t know if they did it with button, they did it with the wing, they did it with all of them, or they actually did something good. And now, everybody overtakes 50 times a race. It’s like shooting for minnows, it doesn’t make sense.”
