You might call him mediocre (your opinion, and a very wrong one), but he battled it out with Hakkinen for the 1999 WDC title, and he was looking good.
He also managed to put the Jaguar F1 on the podium!

Irvine made a bad job of it, IMO, he even had the benefit of team orders and had won races which, on merit, he shouldn't have won - Malaysia and Germany.

Irvine is a decent driver and had that amazing podium with Jaguar in Monaco but you have to put him with your Fisichellas who never made full use of top class machinery simply because their world class team mates and nearest rivals made them look stupid.
