Subject: Irvine escapes action over Grand Prix crash
Eddie Irvine has escaped punishment over the incident which put Jacques Villeneuve and Johnny Herbert out of the Australian Grand Prix. Track marshals did not take any actrion against the Irishman following the collision at the opening corner. Villeneuve branded Irvine's move down the inside as "stupid", while Herbert later called him an "idiot". But Irvine insisted "It was a simple racing accident, one of those thing that happen."
