This race would turn out to be a very sad one.

After a huge first lap collision involving a Ferrari, Mclaren 2 Jordans & An Arrows, local marshall Paolo Gislimberti would tragically lose his life.

Back to the racing however, and the final few races would once again go down Michael Vs Mika.

On the back of that AMAZING racew winning move at Spa, confidence was high in the Mclaren garage.

Schumi NEEDED a win, and the post race conference would be famous for Schumacers reaction which i have left in.
