Ibihe byahindutse cyane kuri stage ya munani mubwongereza, aho schumacher yazimye munzira kandi akavunika amaguru. Ferrari ntacyo yari afite, uburyo bwo guhitamo kuri Eddie.

Kandi Irvine na Ferrari bakoresheje ubuhanga kunanirwa kw'abahanganye kandi bakize ibirahuri. Eddie yatsinze muri Otirishiya n'Ubudage. Mu nzira, i Hokkenheim, yumvise igikundiro cy'umuderevu wa mbere w'imiterere, mugihe koko yerekanye SELO yambere, mugihe koko yerekanye intsinzi ya Mika Salo, yagenewe gusimbuza schumacher.
