Will HHF ever get the car to prove he is just as good as Michael Schumacher, we ponder.

[thequadge]

Even more field spread than usual, Hill will be lapping cars within a lap or two...

[ANF]

Berger is catching Alesi.

[PayasYouRace]

Ukyo is out!

Like the 1967 Grand National.

 

I've just looked this up, that sounds incredible. Something similar happened at the F3000 Pau Grand Prix in 1998 and Montoya ended up winning by about a lap.

[midgrid]

Hill three seconds per lap faster than Alesi so far.

[Risil]

Track's drying fast

[PayasYouRace]

If things keep up like this it could be a good day to score some points for the backmarkers.

[PayasYouRace]

Frentzen was nearly out.

[Izzyeviel]

Great save from Frentzen! Katayama out. 15 runners left.

[Risil]

I forget where I read this but weren't the Goodyear wet tyres really, really hard when it was a control tyre? Hill is about 30 seconds off the dry pace.

[thequadge]

Has Schumacher switched cars? He looks like he is now driving a McLaren?

[PayasYouRace]

How the hell did Rosset enter that shot already going backwards?

[Tiakumosan]

Time for inters.

[fridge46]

Has Schumacher regenerated into DC's McLaren?

[Risil]

Frentzen vs Irvine is like the drunk version of Mansell vs Senna.

[PayasYouRace]

Oh McLaren have revived their little wing on the engine cover.

[Risil]

McLaren mid-wing! Drink.

Salo, or the 120 Days of Being Stuck Behind Irvine

I love how Murray Walker's voice drops an octave when he starts talking about Graham Hill

[PayasYouRace]

Please don't jinx it Murray.

[NotAPineapple]

Fun Fact: Coulthard borrowed Schumachers helmet on that weekend

[SophieB]

‘Nine out and we’re only on lap seven...’

[PayasYouRace]

It's practically the whole field in one shot now behind Irvine.

[TomNokoe]

Unsurprisingly, because it has a roof.

[thequadge]

"There is a good dry line in the tunnel, unsurprisingly as it has a roof" Classic Murray!!    

[PayasYouRace]

Diniz out. Bad day for Ligier this.

[ANF]

Why is Irvine so slow? Hopeless.

[midgrid]

Frentzen, Herbert and Panis look very racy.

Edit: Panis past Brundle at the back of the queue.

[Bleu]

I remember Diniz being pushed but don't recall seeing the car being craned so Finnish TV must have gone to ads immediately after his DNF.

[PayasYouRace]

Palmer calling the winning strategy there?

[Tiakumosan]

This McLaren looks more like a Penske.

The eternal question.

[thequadge]

The F310 is awful only the F92 was worse....

[Risil]

Hey, has Panis made it round Brundle?

[Izzyeviel]

Can't believe Diniz is out. He was my dark horse for the race. Oh well. Hill has this now. if something happens to him, then I can see a midfielder winning. Gonna pick Berger to win.

[PayasYouRace]

Did Panis just find a way past Brundle there?

[selespeed]

Panis overtakes Brundle

Did he say someone should just ram Irvine off the road?

[M66R]

Irvine's pace is pretty poor. An Irvine train...

[thequadge]

Damon is really extending the lead....

[Risil]

"A bit of a dry patch emerging where Michael Schumacher went off"

[SophieB]

Watching these races is what it must be like being psychic. Tremble, gentle drivers, for I know your sporting futures.

[PayasYouRace]

The train is spreading out a bit now.  I wouldn't say Irvine is holding them all up any more.

[Bleu]

It will be two-hour race so teams may have to guess the number of laps remaining.

[thequadge]

Berger pits...

[PayasYouRace]

That's not a scheduled stop.

[midgrid]

Berger in! A gamble for slicks? No, he's got a problem.

[Risil]

Berger's out!
