Mclaren had been mighty strong the last 2 years with David coulthard winning them both.

This year he had the chance to be the first British driver to do it since The great Jim Clark.

As always, the Ferrari and Schumacher was strong but so was the Mclaren package.

DC NEEDED a win to keep his slim titel hopes alive..

But the eventual winner would be an almighty popular one given his season was pretty dreadful up to this point.

Round 10 saw Ralf Schumacher who was already having a very good season pick up his first ever pole position.

Always nervy when its your first.. But could the younger schumacher stave off the competition form his brother, team mate and the flying Scot Coulthard?

Pundits were starting to ask if favouring DC Over Hakkinen for the championship was to be a thing?

DC stated he just focused on winning races and that Mika realised the complexity of the situation.

But the Williams were on fire over recent rounds and Montoya (Who at this point, had only finished once in 8 races) NEEDED a result!

After missing the previous race after a HUGE crash, Jordans Heinz Harald Frentzen was back replacing Zonta again.
