I think Irvine's driving days are long behind him.

To be honest maybe McNish should think about hanging up his Helmet, to me at least he seems to be over driving and making far to many mistakes, still quick but just not a safe pair of hands.

If the teams want name drivers, there are at least 6 least who are past their prime in F1, plus plenty of quick guys around without turning back the clock to far.

Hyundai, well Proton have a toe in with Lotus maybe Hyundai should brand up as well, given the build quality maybe they should link with TVR?

Hell, Irvine's best days were behind him when he joined Ferrari.  As Nigel Roebuck once said, "when one is asked about a list of the most over-rated racing drivers in history, the name Eddie Irvine immediately springs to mind".
Maybe Toyota can see what Egg Foo's up to these days. ;D

Sounds as if Honda are going to join P1 now. I would guess as an engine supplier?
