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.
