Overview[]
The S3 - British Grand Prix was the tenth race of Masters Season 3.
Report[]
The fast and flowing Silverstone circuit saw a return to form for Fernando Alonso as he took his second win of the season ahead of Alain Prost and Kimi Raikkonen, but it was a bad race for Mika Hakkinen as he failed to reach the chequered flag. The highest placed British driver was the Exolite of Lewis Hamilton, who came home in 5th. Ferrari’s obliteration of the other engines meant that they clinched the engine trophy in this round.
It was at this point of the season when a new points system was being discussed to award points down to 8th place and the winner being awarded 12 points rather than the traditional 10. This was agreed by all team bosses.
