That was an excellent race, Scuhmacher starting from 3rd on the 
grid, with the 2 Mclarens ahead of him. He drove a superb race 
getting 110% out of that Ferrari and using every inch of the track. I 
f you had seen the qualifying Scuhnmcaher had the car set up q. 
differently , almost like a kart with a stiff front suspension and 
the car was almost too difficult to handle but for the race all that 
changed. He drove flat out and not only that he did 3 pit stops 
compared to McLaren's 2 pitstops and still won the race ahead of both 
the Mclaren's. (Mika Hakkinnen's Mclaren did have some sort of 
problem though as he was slowing down in the last few laps and was 
LAPPED by Scuhmacher I think it was gearbox problem, maybe he 
couldn't get top gear, so could keep going at a slower speed)
Great race, makes the championship even more exciting now only 7 
point difference between Scuhmcaher and Hakinnen now!
