BEFORE THE RACE

  • Teams and Key Drivers:  Championship leader Mika Häkkinen arrived determined to break his Monaco curse, as he had never finished a Grand Prix in the Principality. Despite dominating the 1998 season, Häkkinen knew he would need to avoid mistakes to succeed. Michael Schumacher, a three-time Monaco winner (1994, 1995, 1997), entered as the bookmakers’ favorite but remained cautious due to his reliance on Goodyear tires, which could struggle against the Bridgestones used by McLaren.

 

  • Standings Before the Race:  Häkkinen led the drivers’ championship with 34 points, closely followed by Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard. Ferrari and Benetton remained in contention, but all eyes were on the dominant McLaren-Mercedes team.

DURING THE RACE

  • Weather and Tire Strategy:  The weekend featured changing conditions and cloudy skies, testing the teams’ tire strategies. The McLarens, equipped with hard Bridgestone tires, proved fastest on the damp track. Drivers on Goodyear tires, like Schumacher and Giancarlo Fisichella, opted for soft compounds in hopes of gaining an early advantage. However, persistent rain and fluctuating track conditions underscored the importance of grip and strategic adaptability.
  • Starting Grid:  Mika Häkkinen secured pole position with a stunning lap of 1:19.798, ahead of teammate David Coulthard. Giancarlo Fisichella surprised by qualifying third, while Schumacher struggled slightly, placing fourth on the grid with his Ferrari.
  • Key Moments:  The race began under warm but threatening skies. Häkkinen quickly established control, followed by Coulthard, as minor incidents punctuated the opening laps. Drama unfolded when Schumacher, after contact with Alexander Wurz, suffered suspension damage and fell out of contention following emergency repairs. The McLaren duo extended their lead, while Fisichella and Eddie Irvine fought for the remaining podium spots. Despite numerous mechanical challenges, Schumacher battled to stay competitive but ultimately could not recover. Häkkinen drove flawlessly, demonstrating exceptional tire management and consistency.

 

AFTER THE RACE

  • Podium:  Mika Häkkinen won his first Monaco Grand Prix with a dominant performance. Giancarlo Fisichella delivered a stellar drive to finish second, while Eddie Irvine salvaged a third-place finish for Ferrari.
  • Standings After the Race:  Häkkinen extended his lead in the drivers’ championship, cementing his position as the title favorite. Coulthard, despite retiring, remained in contention but faced an uphill battle against Häkkinen’s strong form. Schumacher, hampered by mechanical issues, saw his championship hopes take a hit, leaving him in a challenging position.
