Overview[]
The S2 - Spanish Grand Prix was the fifth race of Masters Season 2 and the first FF1M race to contain video highlights.
Report[]
Having triumphed at Jerez the season before, Fernando Alonso was looking to do the same at Barcelona. Unfortunately, he had a disastrous race as an earlier off left him down in 14th before another off at turn 3 led to a slow rejoin and being shunted into retirement by the Ajay of David Coulthard.
Rain arrived during the race which caused a big crash for Damon Hill as well as a tangle between the other Willow Images of Juan Pablo Montoya and Lewis Hamilton. But it was Jacques Villeneuve who stayed out of trouble to take his and Pedersen's first career win. Finishing 2nd was AquinoPlus' Alain Prost, who like Villeneuve, was surprisingly absent for the previous season. Taking 3rd and his first podium since the very first FF1M race was British Lions' Mika Hakkinen.
