Overview[]
The S4 - Mexican Grand Prix was the seventh race of Masters Season 4.
Report[]
The circus headed across the Atlantic Ocean for not one, but two races in the North American continent. The first of which was another venue and country hosting a race for the first time, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. After two non-scores in the previous two races, Alain Prost returned to winning ways. Finishing in 2nd was Exolite's Kimi Raikkonen, with Fernando Alonso taking his second podium finish of the season. Damon Hill's 2nd retirement of the season meant that Prost retook the lead of the championship, but only by one point.
