I was known for my aggressive driving style and a strong rivalry with another legendary driver. My career was marked by both incredible highs and controversial incidents. I secured multiple podium finishes but never won a championship. Who am I?

1. I drove for a team known for its distinctive yellow livery.
2. My career spanned the late 1980s and early 1990s.
3. I was often described as a 'lion' on the track.
4. I'm from a European country known for its passion for motorsport.
