A tribute to F1 pilot Patrick Depailler.


From the opening round of the 1996 season in Melbourne, the potential for an extraordinary year was plainly evident. In particular, the two Williams-Renault team mates were quick to display the sort of skill and determination that would keep this contest on the brink to the very end. As Damon Hill established his campaign to overcome Ferrari’s reigning World Champion Michael Schumacher, Jacques Villeneuve was proving to be not only an exciting new talent, but a serious title contender. By mid-season, Hill's lead was looking comfortable, but then a disappointing British round began a run of races that would see Villeneuve and Schumacher claw back valuable points. As the finale at Suzuka approached, the outcome of the 1996 Championship rested on just one race and fans the world over held their breath...


The McLaren team took a dominating win at Melbourne to start the 1998 title fight and it seemed the season would be a one-horse race. Then at the third round in Argentina, Michael Schumacher and his Ferrari took the fight to Mika Hakkinen and prefaced another classic back-and-forth battle. As quickly as Hakkinen could pull out a lead, Schumacher reeled him back with sensational drives in Canada and France and strategic drives in Argentina and Hungary, until with two rounds to go, they were even on points. The Championship went down to the final race in Japan where Mika took the honours. But there were no losers, Michael’s gallant season-long charge made for awesome viewing and a magnificent year.
