Back to the ever epic Imola circuit where, again, Schumacher M wanted to take a stranglehold on the championship..

The Mclaren boys were not going to let that happen with David Coulthard in scintillating form at this early stage of the season.

A Mclaren 1 - 2 whetted the appetites, but it was Schumacher R... Old Ralfie boy who was in prime position to spoil the silver party!

This would also be the winning constructors FIRST win, Amazingly, since 1997!

This would also be the last ever F1 start for Gaston Mazzacane in the Prost, who would be fired after just 4 races of the new season.
