Schumacher wins the two hours of Monaco
© 1997 ATLAS F1

Sunday May 11, 1997

Summary


Michael Schumacher showed he is the king in the rain during today's very wet Monaco Grand Prix. The German was just too strong for anyone to even come close. He finished with a lead of 53 seconds over second place driver Rubens Barrichello, who gave the Stewart team their first second place in the just five race Formula One history of the team. Eddie Irvine completed the podium with another good result. The race was just over 62 laps in stead off the 78 because the two hour limit was reached.

Schumacher took the lead of the driver championship and Ferrari is now leading the constructor championship.

Mika Salo drove his Tyrrell-Ford to an excellent fifth place. The amazing thing was that he did not make a pit stop at all.

The next issue of Atlas F1 will feature a full race review
