Overview[]
The S5 - Monaco Grand Prix was the sixth race of Masters Season 5.
Report[]
Having been absent from the FF1M calendar in the previous season thanks to Zandvoort hosting a one-off race, Monaco made a welcome return, and it was Lewis Hamilton who carried his Imola form over and took his first ever FF1M pole position, with Michael Schumacher alongside him on the front row.
Although it wasn't exactly a race of attrition, those that were heading the championship failed to finish, including both Maestro drivers, Jean Alesi, and Damon Hill, and it was the M-Sport of Mika Hakkinen who won having started down in 8th. Schumacher managed to convert his front-row start into a 2nd place, while the consistent Ayrton Senna finished 3rd. Despite failing to finish, Alesi still clung on to the championship lead by single point, while FJR's lead in the constructors was just as slim from Maestro and M-Sport.
