pole2pole should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
IMP Eddie was a fantastic driver and also one of the best characters in formula one. In relation to rating him as a driver well the guy did what he was told by ferrari lets remember that he was there to help ferrari and MS win championships nothing else. As far as the 1999 season is concerned he got nowhere near the same support that MS had been a custom to in fact each time i think of the second half of the 99 season the ferrari pits and THREE wheels always springs to mind. When he went to Jag well that was a mess they spent more time hiring and firing top key personnel than much needed time on there car. I remember Eddie Jordon said during the 99 season that if Eddie was to become world champion he would make a fantastic world champion i agreed 100%. I think alot of people looked at the life style that Eddie leads and they seem to think that he didnt take formule one serious well at anyone time there can only be two ferrari drivers and he was one of them.
