1996 Eddie Irvine Suit

Details

What could be a better addition to your Formula 1 collection than a set of authentic
racing overalls from former Ferrari Formula 1 driver and charismatic racer, Eddie
Irvine.

Description

The Ulsterman’s 1996 Ferrari Formula 1 suit is manufactured by Momo Corsa and
has every one of the team’s major sponsors logo’s stitched onto the Nomex fire proof suit and has been perfectly preserved since that season. The Irishman’s name and the shamrock flower icon (which represents Irvine’s nationality) can be found on the suit as well.

History

Eddie Irvine joined the Ferrari team in 1996 after two impressive full-time seasons at Jordan Grand Prix and would partner the reigning two-time world champion Michael Schumacher who was also moving to the Scuderia. Irvine and Schumacher had to make do with a car that was difficult to drive and wasn’t as competitive as the Williams cars, but Irvine put in a number of impressive drives such as at the opening Grand Prix in Australia where he finished in third position on his debut in red.

Irvine would stay at the Maranello team up until 1999 and would finish runner up that season to Mika Hakkinen.

Ferrari racing overalls do not come on sale very often, especially those from the
1990’s and earlier so don’t hesitate to own a special piece of Formula 1 memorabilia
and showcase your passion for Formula 1 today.
