BARCELONA    SPAIN

Last year's Spanish Grand Prix prompted much debate, although more for what didn't happen than what did.


Barcelona '99 was one of the most tedious grand prix in living memory, enlivened only by the fact that for once Eddie Irvine got the better of Michael Schumacher in qualifying to join Hakkinen on the front row.


Another highlight was Jacques Villeneuve's performance in the BAR.
He managed to leap ahead of the Ferraris at the start of the race and ran third up until the first pit stops. This was by far the 1997 Spanish GP winner's most competitive outing of the year although it didn't last.
The Canadian was out by lap 40with gearbox failure.


Apart from that, nothing else of note really happened as the McLarens recorded a crushing 1-2 finish, putting Mika Hakkinen in control of the championship fight.
