Heinz-Harald Frenzen, David Coulthard, Giancarlo Fisichella, Ralf Schumacher...
...They all had the lead in at Nurburgring and they all lost it, DC Went off, Giancarlo lost it after he's head-support loosened. Frenzens Jordan gave up and finally Ralf Schumacher got a puncture but was able to re-enter in fourth position in the difficult conditions, with a dry start, later on rain showers, dry again, and again some rain.

Jean Alesi made a spectacular good start (as usually) and gained four places into the first corner, unfortunately pedro was hit by Wurz and he's Sauber tipped over, it looked very bad there for a moment, but Pedro made 'thumbs up' to the audience before taken to hospital. Stay tuned for more on Pedros condition. Jean was in front of Today's winner Johnny Herbert,  today's second place man Jarno 'hit-man' Trulli and third place Barrichello at the early stages of the race, on lap 11 Jean however lost four places, the TV cameras missed the incident, later in the race Jean picket up several places in the wet. Then disaster struck again and the Sauber resigned again  at the end at pit-row, after Jeans second pit-stop.

Qualifying

Yes rain!
It was The perfect Alesi-weather today in qualifying for the European GP, everything was set for a great session, the track dried as the session went on Jean made some good laps and was with 5 minutes to go second on the grid, but as we all know needier Jean or the Sauber team have to much of a tactical skill... Jean ended up 16th on the grid, even behind his teammate Pedro. Heinz-Harald Frentzen snatched pole in the last during minutes of the qualifying session and will start in the front row with Coulthard beside him and Mika and Ralf Schumacher in the second row.

European 1998
Last year the GP at Nurnburgring was called the Luxenburg GP and these was Jeanīs words after the GP were he finised 10th:
"I had too much wheelspin at the start so I was slow away. All round the lap I had to defend my position but I always seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time! After that it was just tough, but we finished, which is important. It's just a shame that F1 is so competitive at the moment. Our lap times were good, but things are so close that everything must be right - practice and qualifying, not just the race.."
