Overview[]
The S4 - San Marino Grand Prix was the third race of Masters Season 4.
Report[]
The first European race of the season saw a race of high attrition with incidents aplenty throughout the whole field and only eight finishers. It looked as if Jean Alesi would take his first ever FF1M win, but a suspension failure robbed him, which meant that the shrewd Alain Prost for Maestro Motorsport took the win, a good result after a somewhat quiet start to his championship defence. With Damon Hill retiring from the race, Prost took the lead of the championship. Joining him on the podium were Pedersen's Gerhard Berger and the other Maestro of Lewis Hamilton. Like in Australia, M-Sport recorded another double DNF.
