Overview[]
The S2 - Canadian Grand Prix was the eighth race of Masters Season 2.
Report[]
Fernando Alonso took his fourth pole position and converted it into the lead by the first corner. A scrappy first lap saw Martin Brundle collide with David Coulthard, and the British Lions driver followed this up by creating a traffic jam and driving into Olivier Panis. At the final chicane, Nigel Mansell tried to outbrake Michael Schumacher for 2nd but ran off circuit. Upon rejoining, he drove into the AquinoPlus and spun round. Having righted the car, he was shunted into retirement by the other British Lions of Mika Hakkinen.
Despite an enormous lead at the end of the first lap, Alonso suffered a retirement, and it was Schumacher who survived the Mansell assault to win his first race of the season. He was joined on the podium by Nelson Piquet and Alain Prost.
