Overview[]
The S2 - Brazilian Grand Prix was the second race of Masters Season 2.
Report[]
After his failure to finish in Australia, Fernando Alonso bounced back to dominate the Brazilian Grand Prix having once again started from pole position. After a difficult race in Melbourne, Willow Images' Damon Hill had a strong race from 10th on the grid to finish 2nd, while Michael Schumacher once again had to work his way through the field to finish 3rd having started ten places further back. Both Willow Images and AquinoPlus were running Ford engines, and it was clear that their qualifying power output was nowhere near Ferrari's level. Meanwhile, Jean Alesi scored his first career points with 4th after a strong performance all meeting.
