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.
