Ron: Eddie Should Shut Up And Drive.
According to McLaren boss Ron Dennis, Ferrari is going to have a tough task wresting either world title from the Woking team without Michael Schumacher, and he suggests that Eddie Irvine should be concentrating on his driving rather than holding forth on other subjects.
Speaking on satellite programme Sky News, Dennis hinted that Irvine's constant comments about both his position at Ferrari and his merits relative to other drivers are beginning to grate. The Irishman would be better off keeping quiet, and concentrating on beating the McLarens, Dennis said.

"Eddie would find his time best spent focusing on his own performance, and trying to get the best out of the team," he continued, "rather than making remarks that are counter-productive to that process. We've got a far more reliable package now - in speed and performance - to win both the championships with or without Michael Schumacher."
Dennis' comments would also suggest Irvine's chances of securing a seat at Woking are slim, despite the Irishman dropping hints that he may be set to replace David Coulthard in the team.
