F1 Full Races

Onto round 7 for the Monaco GP and after the uproar from the last race in Austria, people were keen to see what Jean Todt and the Ferrari Higher ups would do next..

Luckily, nothing but Schumacher was determined to beat Rubens without Team orders from now on.

Saturday went a little different, Juan Pablo Montoya and Monaco Specialist David Coulthard lined up on the front row, Schumi was 3rd, but anything could happen on these streets..

The only thing that needs to be said about this race was Ferrari..

Dominant so far, but the ending of this race boiled blood like you'd never seen before.

Rivals crashing.. Frustrating.

Team orders.. Even more so..

Ferrari would do something in this race which genuinely was pointless and all it did was deflate one mans ego.

How would he bounce back from this?

Mental fortitude in F1 needs to be strong to survive.

So far, it was total domination for Schumi & The Scuderia, but could the apple cart be upset here in spain?

Williams of Montoya & Ralf were looking in strong form, but they could topple the domination of the Red team.

Pedro De La Rosa was the first EVER Spanish driver to reach 50 F1 starts (and the 101st to do so).

For the winner of this race, it was his amazingly 9th career grand slam (Led Every Lap,  Pole & Fastest Lap).

It was looking like a Ferrari Vs Williams Type of year.

Big Schumi thinks Little Bro Schumi and Williams could have the pace and with 3 out of 3 retirements for Barrichello, could this FINALLY be his first race to collect some much needed points!

This race would also be Rubens 150th race start (The 3rd  Brazilian to do so) & Also Saubers 150th race start! (The 14th to do so)

2002 had an electric start to the season.

Huge crashes, brilliant racing, scraps to the end and the two German brothers in the form of their lives.

This was to be no exception at a thrilling Interlagos.

Unfortunately, Home Hero Rubens Barrichello dreadful 2002 would not get any better here.

Also, check out Peles own goal at the end as he forgets to wave the chequered flag for the winner!

Incredibly, and sadly, This would be the 16th and last ever points finish for the Finnish Mika, and it is obviously not Hakkinen.

In an ominous warning to the rest of the field, Michael Schumacher said he felt confident of winning again, after winning the opening round in Australia with a year old car!

BUT, the 4 Time World champion wouldn't have EVERYTHTING go his way this time out.

Que, a heartbreaking ending for one englishman.

This was also Ferraris 150th pole position and this race in only his second, would be a small Brazilians first ever points finish!

Benetton were renamed as Renault.

 Toyota were a brand new Team in F1.

Driver Changes:-

No more Mika Hakkinen! He was on "Sabbatical" so was replaced by Sauber Driver Kimi Raikkonen.

Raikkonens seat was taken over by Euro F3000 Champ Felipe Massa.

Jordan Also elected for another new driver in Takuma Sato who replaced the Legendary Jean Alesi.

Jos Verstappen lost his drive at Arrows because they opted to go for H-H Frentzen from the now defunct Prost team.

Fernando Alonso, after impressing in 2001, joined Renaults Test Team for 2002 and his seat was taken by Mark Webber.

Toyotas first ever driver line up consisted of Mika Salo & Allan Mcnish.

Luciano Burti joined Luca Badoer as test drivers for Ferrari.

No room either for Tomas Enge who returned to International F3000 for 2002.

Antonio Pizzonia would be alongside Marc Gene, testing the Williams cars & Andre Lotterer would be testing duty for Jaguar.

So it was to be the final race of the 2001 Season.

A dominant one for Michael Schumacher & Ferrari, Schumacher's victory was his ninth of the season, tying his own record from 1995 and 2000 and Nigel Mansell from 1992. As a consequence of the race, Schumacher finished the year with a season-record 123 championship points scored in the World Drivers' Championship, breaking Alain Prost's all-time record for most career points scored.

Many things would be the lasts for drivers and teams.

Last races EVER for Jean Alesi, Tomas Enge & Mika Hakkinen.

While it would also be the last race for Bennetton who would be rebranded as Renault for 2002 and after this race, the Prost team would be shut down forever, thus turning into quite the sad end from the Ligier days.

Lot of emotion in this one!

This would not only prove to be the Race winners LAST EVER F1 victory, but it ironically came 2 weeks after he said he would be taking a sabbatical from the sport in 2002 with a replacement on the horizon.

It would also turn out to be Murray Walkers FINAL EVER race he would commentate on and James Allen would be taking the reigns from here on out.

A Legend of the sport, I hope you enjoy this last race with the Commentator of a generation.

Just a few drivers changes for this one..

Both drivers represented their countries in F1 for the first time.

Thomas Enge =, the Czech driver, reaplced the injured and bruised Luciano Burti after his horror smash in Belgium.

Alex Yoong also became the first ever Malaysian Driver to compete in F1 replacing Tarso Marques, who stayed on as the teams reserve and test driver.

Montoya had 2 previous pole positions but had failed to convert them into wins..

Could it be different this time?

He would have stiff competition esepcially in the form of Ferraris 2nd driver who was in great form also.
