Hot Seat
withEddie Irvine - Ferrari.
F1 Racing, January 1997.

Q: How much money do you spend on clothes?
A: I don't really buy clothes now. I always wear Cerruti (Ferrari's official supplier).

Q: Do you like cooking?
A: Yes. I might not be very good at it, but at least I know what I'm getting! My speciality is pasta, but I have to say I like mashed potatoes.

Q: What do you dislike about travelling?
A: Nothing - at least, if I'm in first class on British Airways. With their sleeper beds I don't mind travelling at all.

Q: What do you look for in a girl?
A: Long legs, big tits, and a beautiful face. She has to be able to laugh at herself.

Q: What's your favourite circuit?
Suzuka, without a doubt. But I also like Magny-Cours.

Q: How do you feel when you retire from a race?
A: It depends how far I am from the pits.

Q: When you retire, will you own an F1 team?
A: I would like to be involved in F1, but not owning a team. That's too much aggro.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
A: Fly my helicopter, go jet-skiing, relax and talk rubbish with my friends.

Q: What's your taste in music?
A: I like Oasis, Van Morrison, The Cranberries, and Alanis Morrisette.

Q: What qualifications do you have?
A: Seven O-levels. I didn't do A-levels.
