failed. He managed not to collide with the wall, but only finished 8th in
the race. He retired at the Spanish Grand Prix after 26 laps. At Zolder, a
new Wolf WR8 was raced but Hunt crashed into a barrier hard enough
to bounce back onto the track. After failing to finish the 1979 Monaco
Grand Prix, the race where six years previously he had made his debut,
Hunt made a statement on 8 June 1979 to the press announcing his
immediate retirement and walked away from F1 competition.

Edmund “Eddie” Irvine, Jr. (born 10 November 1965) is a former racing
driver from Northern Ireland. Irvine grew up in Conlig, County Down,
and was influenced by his parents, who were also involved in motor
racing. His professional racing career began in 1983 and he progressed
to Formula Three racing in 1988, before moving on to Formula 3000 in
1989. He started racing for Jordan in the Formula 3000 series in 1990,
and was subsequently picked up by the Jordan Formula One team in
1993. His reputation steadily increased in Formula One, eventually
leading Ferrari to sign him to partner Michael Schumacher in 1996.
His most successful season was 1999; Irvine won four races, taking the
Drivers’ Championship to the last race in which he finished third. In the
overall Championship he finished as runner-up to McLaren driver Mika
Häkkinen. He left Ferrari the following year for the new Jaguar Racing
team and was the only driver to get Jaguar to the podium in their short
F1 history; he achieved this feat twice.
