Irvine was on podium in Jaguar both at Monaco (01) and Monza (02).

But about the topic. Nico is a very good driver and it's gonna be really hard to beat him. Matching him would be a more realistic goal. Last year's Brazilian Grand Prix showed that Kazuki has raw speed, now he needs consistency over the whole race distance + ability to excel in qualifying. Very hard to predict anything about someone, who has been in F1 for such little time. What we know that last year he was beating his GP2 team-mate Lapierre quite conveniently, like Kovalainen had done against the same driver two years earlier. Impossible to tell at the moment whether we can draw a comparison now from that one, but who knows.
