About the Jaguar R1
Developed by the Stewart team that Ford had bought the previous year, the R1 used a Cosworth CR-2 V10 and was raced by Eddie Irvine, newly arrived from Ferrari, and Johnny Herbert. Irvine regularly qualified it in the top ten, but its race pace was often poor and its gearbox unreliable, and his four points left Jaguar ninth in the constructors' championship. It was Herbert's final Formula One car, and his last race in Malaysia ended in a frightening accident caused by suspension failure, from which he escaped with minor injuries. Luciano Burti made his race debut in an R1 when he substituted for Irvine in Austria.
