This it it. Michael Schumacher Vs Mika Hakkinen. 4 points. If Schumacher won, he & Mika would have the same amount of wins in a year, but the title would go to Hakkinen IF he finished second on countback of the Finn having more 2nd places than Schumacher. Tension was thick! But drama would unfold even before the start... (Also, this would be the last ever race for Shinji Nakano, Esteban Tuero...

2 Rounds left. 80 Points a piece between Schumacher & Hakkinen. Who would take first blood heading into the final round in Japan? An all Ferrari front row (The first one sensationally for Eddie Irvine) swung it in the Scuderias favour, but who was coming out singing and swinging through the race? Incidentally, this would also be Ricardo Rossetts Last ever F1 race in his Tyrrel & it was Jea...

Just 3 rounds left of the 1998 F1 World Championship and after the insanity that was Belgium, Could Hakkinen bounce back and put one hand on the trophy, or would Schumacher hit back after losing an easy Spa win? Also, With Villeunueve on the front row, this would be the last for a Canadian until 2017. The third place finisher in this race would also be his last podium with his current team. Driver...

For me, This is where my love of F1 began! The first race i ever watched as an 8 year old kid and it had me hooked for life! The craziest of races happened! The huge start crash, a championship contender getting knocked out at turn 1. Another contender misjudged a line and SMASHED a wheel off. The third contender had a miserable race out of the points.. So, on this day of opportunity, WHO Would co...

Another Mclaren front row lockout seemed to just spark the inevitable. A Mika win, DC second, Schumi 3rd but pushing. But today was different. Ferrari, on a different strategy, knew that was the only way to beat Mclaren, and the German Maestro delivered a set of laps that would still be talked about in awe to this day.. It would also be the 3rd place drivers LAST podium until 2001 but last for his...

Michael Schumachers home race was an important one to win if he had any chance of keeping up with the Flying Finn and the super Mercedes Machine.

Giancarlo Fisichella scored a Sensational Pole position for Benetton (Who, for them, it would be their 15th and last ever pole they won.

It was Also Jos Verstappens 50th race. Drivers Standings POST Race:-  1 | (FIN) Mika Hakkinen | 66...

This race was famous not only for it being a typically wet race for the UK but in the manner that the winner had won. Faced with a 10 second stop go penalty in the very late aspects of the race, the winner had to make a desicion. Take it and finish second, or try something that even the suits at the FIA would not have thought of.. Well, the wily smarts paid off and it would not only change Silvers...

Back at Magny-Cours for the halfway point of the 1998 F1 season. Things were hotting up in the championship battle between the Flying Finn & The quick German, but who would take the honours today. Also, Jos Verstappen was back in F1, replacing Jan Magnussen in the Stewart-Ford (Although his first race back was extremely forgettable).

Derek Warwick stood in the commentary box for Martin Brundle in this race AND sadly for the Danish Community, this would turn out to be Jan Magnussens last ever race in F1 for Stewart as well.

2 Races to go, could this race deice both the drivers and constructors titles? Well, after a poor desicion in qualifying where he failed to slow down for yellow flags, Williams appealed the case to not start at the back of the grid, so he started from pole. But, they dropped the appeal after the race meaning JV Scored no points. Down. To. Jerez! Drivers Standings Post Race:- 1 | (DEU) Michael Schu...

I can only apologise for the utter terrible edits from this race but unfortunately it was all Australias Channel 9 coverage! Still Murray & Martin Commentating, but if you thought ITV was bad for Ad breaks, Channel 9 was way worse.. The annoying presenter coming in at stupidly random times to talk about what we already know, cutting out at exciting parts, and also, at one point during the race...

Austria is BACK after a 10 year absence, but would the race last won by Nigel Mansell live up to its billing? There would be excitement and heartbreak at this event for the smaller teams.

A wet race at Spa can only mean one thing! Schumi Dominance! Or would it be? Could JV eat into the title lead, or would there be a more surprising podium?
