Edward McKayCheever Jr.(born January 10, 1958) is an American formerracing driverwho raced for almost 30 years inFormula One,sports cars,CART,and theIndy Racing League.Cheever participated in 143 Formula One World Championship races and started 132,more than any other American,driving for nine different teams from 1978 through 1989. In 1996, he formed his own IRL team,Team Cheever,and won the1998 Indianapolis 500as both owner and driver. The team later competed in sports cars.
His younger brotherRoss Cheever,nephewRichard Antinucciand sonEddie Cheever IIIalso became racing drivers.
Early life
[edit]Though born inPhoenix, Arizona,Cheever lived inRome,Italy, as a child and attendedSt. George's British International Schooland laterThe New School of Rome.He was introduced to motorsports at age eight when his father took him to a sports car race inMonza.He soon began racinggo-kartsand won both the Italian and European Karting Championships at age 15. He worked his way up through the levels of European Formula racing, teaming with fellow AmericanDanny SullivaninFormula Threein 1975. He scored a significant win againstGunnar NilssonandRupert Keeganat the end of 1975 and then driving forRon Dennis'Project Fourteam inFormula Twoin 1976, 1977, and 1978, finishing runner-up toRené Arnouxin the 1977 championship. By the end of 1977, he was considered the most promising driver in the world outside F1,[citation needed]scoring wins in 1977 in F2 at Nurburgring and Rouen.
Formula One
[edit]Cheever first enteredFormula Onein1978,shortly after his 20th birthday. After failing to qualify for the first two races of the year inArgentinaandBrazilin aTheodore,he made the grid inSouth Africain aHesketh,but retired early. He then concentrated on Formula Two for the rest of 1978 and 1979.
For the 1979 F2 championship, Cheever left Project Four and joined the ItalianOsellateam, taking three wins and fourth overall in their BMW-powered FA2. In1980Osella moved up to Formula One, Cheever piloting the team's Cosworth-powered FA1. However, the car was unreliable and Cheever managed just one finish all year, twelfth place at the team's home race inItaly.Switching teams repeatedly as he tried to climb his way up the grid, Cheever had five points-scoring finishes for theTyrrellteam in1981,and three podiums forLigierthe following year,including a second-place at the1982 Detroit Grand Prix.[1]
The1983season proved to be Cheever's high point in Formula One. He signed with the factoryEquipe Renaultteam alongsideFrenchmanAlain Prost,both of whom were among the year's Championship favorites. Cheever earned four more podiums and 22 Championship points driving theRenault RE30C for the first two races before driving its much better replacement, theRE40,for the remainder of the season. But the team's disappointment after losing both the Drivers' (Prost) and Constructors' titles late in the season brought about the replacement of both Cheever and Prost. His best finish for Renault was second in theCanadian Grand Prixat theCircuit Gilles VilleneuveinMontreal,while earlier in the season he achieved his highest career qualifying position when he was second to teammate Prost at theFrench Grand Prixat thePaul Ricard Circuit.Unconfirmed rumors had Renault signing Cheever as the French manufacturer was looking to sell more cars in North America, and having an American driver in the factory-backed Formula One team would help that cause (there were three F1 races in North America in 1983 –Long Beach,Detroitand Canada).
In six more seasons, he never drove another truly competitive F1 car. After leaving Renault, Cheever had two unsuccessful seasons withAlfa Romeoas a teammate to ItalianRiccardo Patrese.The thirsty and underpowered 890TV8turbo engine used in the Alfas generally saw results few and far between, though it was generally believed Cheever outperformed his teammate despite failing to qualify for the1984 Monaco Grand Prix.Patrese, though, scored the only podium finish for the team in those two years when he finished third in the1984 Italian Grand Prix.Cheever had been third with six laps remaining but his Alfa ran out of fuel, handing the place to Patrese (the team had set Cheever's 890T engine for speed while setting Patrese for an economy run in the hope of a good finish).1985was not helped by the team's car, theAlfa Romeo 185T,which proved to be extremely uncompetitive, forcing the team to upgrade its1984car, the184Tto 1985 specifications and use it for the last half of the season, though the old car did not improve results despite proving slightly faster as the fuel issue remained. Late in the 1985 season, Alfa announced they were pulling out of F1 at the end of the year, leaving Cheever without an F1 drive, while Patrese went back toBrabhamin place ofNelson Piquet,who was moving toWilliams.
While racing in theWorld Sportscar ChampionshipforTom Walkinshaw Racing'sJaguarteam, Cheever raced in only one F1 Grand Prix in1986.This was for the American owned and sponsoredHaas Lolateam atDetroit,as a replacement for the injuredPatrick Tambay.Cheever actually qualified the unfamiliarLola THL2with its turbochargedFordV6 enginein tenth position. Regular team driver,1980World ChampionAlan Jones,could only qualify his car 21st. Both Lolas retired with steering damage in the race, Jones on lap 33, Cheever 4 laps later. Cheever was only the third choice to replace Tambay for the race. Team ownerCarl Haashad originally asked the lead driver in hisCARTteam,1978World ChampionMario Andrettito drive. Mario declined however but recommended his sonMichaelas a replacement. However, when Michael was unable to obtain aFIASuperlicencefor the race, Haas turned to the experienced Cheever, who quickly agreed to an F1 comeback.
For1987,he was signed byArrowsteam bossJackie Oliverto partner British driverDerek Warwick(Cheever's appointment coincided with the U.S.-basedUSF&Gfinancial group becoming the team's major sponsor). Cheever and Warwick (who had been teammates at TWR the previous year) were evenly matched and would have many on-track battles throughout 1987 and1988.He secured third place at the1988 Italian Grand PrixatMonza;at one stage, he was almost disqualified when hisArrows A10B's 150-liter fuel tank was found to actually contain 151 liters. Luckily, further examination revealed the tank size to be 149 liters and his third-place stood. The podium cost him a new pair ofsunglassesfor the chief mechanic. Monza, won by theFerrariofGerhard Berger,was the only time theMcLaren-Hondasof Alain Prost and 1988 World ChampionAyrton Sennadid not win a race in 1988. Cheever's third place in the 1988 Italian Grand Prix was also the final podium for the turbochargedI4BMW M12engine (badged as "Megatron" in 1987 and 1988). At the time, it was the oldest turbo engine in use in Formula One, having been first used by the Brabham team in 1982.
His final podium finish came at the1989 United States Grand Prixin his birthplace ofPhoenix,where he was involved in a race-long battle with theWilliams-Renault of former Alfa Romeo teammate Riccardo Patrese for second place, but then had to give way at the later stages of the race when hisbrakesstarted to fade (he claimed that one of his front brakes had actually stopped working). Cheever's last race in Formula One was at the very wet1989 Australian Grand PrixinAdelaide.During the last seconds of qualifying, he got out of shape coming out of the Fosters Hairpin onto the pit straight and clouted the wall hard with hisArrows A11-Ford,destroying the rear of the car. In the race he was the last to retire, spinning off on lap 42 after driving for many laps with another car's front wing lodged in his Arrows' sidepod.
During hisfinal seasonin Formula One, Cheever remained competitive (when he finished, his average finishing place was seventh), but he became increasingly bemused by his inability to qualify well (his average qualifying position was 23rd, compared to Warwick's 14th). His best qualifying position for the season with 16th in bothCanadaandHungary,and he even failed to qualify for theBritish Grand PrixatSilverstoneand theItalian Grand PrixatMonza,where he had finished third the previous year.
In all, he participated in 143 Grands Prix, achieved nine podiums, and scored a total of 70 championship points. His best year was 1983, when he finished seventh in the championship, scored three podium finishes and one front row start for Renault.
