Apparently irvine has a sixth month prison sentence for a nightclub brawl! but it seems unlikely he'll actually serve it. I saw that in one of Burton's tweets. I'm sure there's an article somewhere in the ether if anyone interested. I've got to got to work


Edit: I've had a quick dig around. Apparently it happened in 2008! And an Italian court have passed the sentence. That seems a bit slow. 6 years to pass a sentence!!

Lol

It also mentions he has made some money from property. So there is the hint, in Italy you can pay each year to 'rollover' your sentencing in Berlusconi fashion

Hopefully we won't be hearing his nonsense about the real drivers like Lewis for a while

in 2000 they had a program on TV where they had followed him for the previous year. (Luckily his best year) he just came across as an fool. I remember in one scene he was sat in his bed waiting for his girlfriend to bring him some baked beans (now that is rock and roll) when she gave them to him. He took one mouthful and threw them at her saying the where too hot.

On 9 January 2014, Eddie Irvine was sentenced to six months in prison after being found guilty of "mutual injury" following a brawl in a night club in Milan, Italy with Gabriele Moratti, son of former mayor of Milan Letizia Moratti. Moratti's lawyer, Vincenzo Saponara, told the media that the sentence was likely to be suspended and that neither man would go to jail.[33]

The former Formula One racing driver Eddie Irvine has been sentenced to six months in prison by an Italian court.

It is not yet clear if the retired racing driver will actually have to serve time in jail.

He was convicted after a brawl with an Italian man in a Milan nightclub.

Irvine, who is from Northern Ireland, and Gabriele Moratti, the son of a former Milan mayor, were found guilty of "mutual injury".

The pair had blamed each other for the dispute that took place in the VIP section of the club in December 2008.

Both Irvine, 48, and Moratti had accused the other of using a glass during the brawl in Milan's Hollywood nightclub.

The Reuters news agency reported Moratti's lawyer, Vincenzo Saponara, as saying the sentence was likely to be suspended and that neither man would go to jail.

Mr Saponara denied Italian media reports the two had fought over a woman.

The lawyer said: "Obviously it's easy for newspapers to say they fought because of jealousy over a woman, that they were two men who were rivals for her.

"It's a nice story. But in reality that's not the case."

Irvine drove for Jordan, Ferrari and Jaguar over a nine-year career in motor racing's most prestigious sport.
