RACE RECAP

After the excitement of the first race, the Brazilian Grand Prix was a good way to cool down. Nothing unexpected in the race, with Hakkinen taking a hard-fought victory against Michael Schumacher. Start was really the most exciting part of the race, as Hakkinen grabbed the lead from Schumi and ended up holding it for the entire race, despite immense pressure from Schumacher all seven laps. In the qualifying, which was under partially wet conditions, Luca Badoer once again surprised the F1 world, by qualifying 7th for the second time in a row. But the Minardi's inferiority showed in the dry race, as he dropped to 18th position by the checkered flag. The most interesting battle of the race occurred in the midfield, where Mike Iceshore and Jacques Villeneuve fought for the 7th position. Iceshore made a great start, jumping from 10th to 7th by the first corner. For the entire race the 1997 world champion attempted to unseat the rookie. But it wasn't to be as Iceshore held on for the 7th place, however not having the pace to race for points. Then again, this performance proved the ability of the rookie Iceshore and, if he continues, he might just earn a point or two before the season is over.
