The Championship battle was heating up here between Ferrari & Mclaren once more, but again, it would be the Scotsman who would be taking the challenge to Schumacher!

Ron Dennis had publicly shamed DC after his start line stall in Spain (He later retracted the remark though) but the relationship was strained and DC needed to keep his head cool and focus on the races in hand.

Starting 7th, what could he do from there?

Few Stats:-

This would be the last win and fastest lap for a British driver until 2007.

This would be the last ever points finish for the Verstappen name until 2015.

This would be the first EVER race where a Colombian started on the front row.
