Overview[]
The S6 - Canadian Grand Prix was the seventh race of Masters Season 6.
Report[]
The championship made its only visit to North America of the season for the Canadian Grand Prix, and at this point, qualifying had been the Alonso vs Schumacher show, with four poles for the Spaniard and two for the German. At the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, it was the turn of Schumacher to qualify on pole, but he had the other Maestro of Lewis Hamilton alongside him on the front row instead.
The general pattern for the season was that although Schumacher would qualify somewhere up front thanks to the powerful qualifying engines Ilmor provided, only for the Willow Images driver to fade during the race. This time around, Schumacher's race engine was more than gutsy enough to be able to challenge for the win, and he grasped at the opportunity brilliantly to take his first win since the Japanese Grand Prix of Season 3 and Willow Images' first since the German Grand Prix of Season 1. The two Maestro drivers were 2nd and 3rd with Hamilton ahead of Alonso.
