Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean in the Renaults took second and third, respectively. You might feel we’re over-rating this one. But the pressure on the protagonists and what Hakkinen’s win led to made it an epic.

The modern Nurburgring may forever be regarded as a circuit in its predecessor’s shadow by some, but it’s so far proved incapable of hosting a truly dull Formula 1 race. This would’ve counted as one of Michael Schumacher’s epic pieces of wet weather domination, but for the fact that Hakkinen was almost as good. But why is it that the Eifel GP has come to life under this particular name?
This season, the Eifel GP is set to take place between 9th to 11th October 2020. The field set off from a bone dry grid, slight drizzle began.., then became an outright downpour that was particularly intense at Turn 1.

* McLaren looking set for a breakthrough in its miserable start to the season as Kimi Raikkonen ran second at first, before he suffered a Mercedes engine failure – just like team-mate David Coulthard did having got up from 20th to eighth.
This was a great day for what at the time seeming like a promising Ferrari title bid (one that would eventually unravel with its championship hope Alboreto scoring zero points in the final five races).
Tenth on the grid after a big qualifying crash, he stayed in his car and kept his engine running having slid off in the first downpour.
The McLaren got ahead of the Red Bull at the second stops, then fended off some firm Webber bids to repass while it was on cold tyres. Before then, Frentzen had proved his and Jordan’s title bid was serious after their Magny-Cours and Monza wins by emerging from a troubled build-up to snatch pole in a drying qualifying session, then lead under enormous pressure from the McLarens of Hakkinen and Coulthard and the sensational Ralf Schumacher’s Williams. As Montoya passed the Ferrari round the outside of the Dunlop curve, Schumacher touched the Williams and spun.
Nurburgring F1 Circuit: The Eifel Grand Prix is set to replace Hockenheim Grand Prix this season, as FIA updated the list.
With the 91st victory of his F1 career and seventh this season, Lewis Hamilton won at the Nurburgring to tie a record held by Michael Schumacher. Though Webber did grab the lead successfully at the first stops, he couldn’t shake off Hamilton and Alonso at all.
Title contenders fighting for scraps with Minardis summed this race up rather well. A race of high tension, with a crowd-pleasing result.
Hill was still behind Barrichello when he lost more ground with a slow first pitstop as Williams checked for a reported car problem, before a scruffy tangle with future Arrows team-mate Pedro Diniz took them both through the gravel.
Coming after being embarrassed by Schumacher’s superb Hungary win, a silly early spin into Johnny Herbert’s path at Spa and brake woes at Monza (all of which eradicated his once decent points lead), now Hakkinen was down in third at the Nurburgring, trapped behind Schumacher’s rear-gunner Irvine as his title rival sprinted away with the race. The Williams-BMW implosion was rapid that day: Montoya and Ralf Schumacher had filled the front row but their Michelins were way off the pace of Ferrari’s Bridgestones and they immediately began to go backwards. Hill – as was the 1995 trend – took himself out of the hunt by colliding with Alesi and breaking his front wing when the Ferrari’s first pitstop put it briefly into the Williams’s range as Hill was yet to make his second stop.
The event's gloriously hot weather, combined with introduction of new rear tyre constructions after the Silverstone blowouts that year, turned the pre-race expectation that it would be a Red Bull vs Mercedes (which started on pole with Lewis Hamilton) affair on its head.

But the intrigue came from eventual champion Niki Lauda’s dogged progress from 15th to fourth place. Lauda had to dodge a first-corner pile-up triggered by Ayrton Senna mounting Keke Rosberg and recover from a spin while trying to lap Mauro Baldi’s Spirit.
Located close to the city of Cologne, the track has also had a rich history of hosting motorcycle racing championships. But that would be a cop-out. Get involved and comment on content. The FIA eventually believed that the alternation of tracks as the German GP could lead to licensing issues.
Ferrari had been wrong about Renault running light to get Alonso on pole – he pitted for the first time just one lap before Schumacher and came out still fractionally ahead. There was a touch of that off the line as they set off from their family front row sweep. Possibly the Nurburgring’s high point of sudden rain madness.
Like most of 2004, this was a Ferrari 1-2 with Michael Schumacher storming away and Rubens Barrichello finishing second. Gary Anderson explains why that might be happening, With the Portuguese Grand Prix set to get underway later today, Edd Straw takes a look back through its history for iconic moments including flips, pit errors, ace wins and titles decided, Mark Hughes details the stunning qualifying lap from Charles Leclerc at the Portuguese Grand Prix that was the perfect mix of "ballsy" and "delicate" in a difficult Ferrari. Grosjean and Magnussen dropped by Haas F1, Grand Prix Greats – F1’s youngest-ever winners. Barrichello had got himself there with a splendidly aggressive first lap charge from fourth on the grid to first. Minardi still had a consolatory point from Marc Gene, who was only just beaten by Hakkinen and managed to resist Irvine.
