Lot of emotion in this one!

This would not only prove to be the Race winners LAST EVER F1 victory, but it ironically came 2 weeks after he said he would be taking a sabbatical from the sport in 2002 with a replacement on the horizon.

It would also turn out to be Murray Walkers FINAL EVER race he would commentate on and James Allen would be taking the reigns from here on out.

A Legend of the sport, I hope you enjoy this last race with the Commentator of a generation.

Just a few drivers changes for this one..

Both drivers represented their countries in F1 for the first time.

Thomas Enge =, the Czech driver, reaplced the injured and bruised Luciano Burti after his horror smash in Belgium.

Alex Yoong also became the first ever Malaysian Driver to compete in F1 replacing Tarso Marques, who stayed on as the teams reserve and test driver.

Montoya had 2 previous pole positions but had failed to convert them into wins..

Could it be different this time?

He would have stiff competition esepcially in the form of Ferraris 2nd driver who was in great form also.

This was a bit of a bizzare race!

Drivers Stalling, new drivers in new teams, a weird situation where a car was up on its jacks at the start lights and a HUUUUUGE Shunt for Luciano Burti would mean it would be his last ever F1 start.

It would also be Tarso Marques' last F1 start for Minardi as he would be replaced by Alex Yoong after this race.

It would also be the last podium for the 3rd place man for his current team and his last until 2003.

The last EVER points finish for the man in 6th which would bring a sad end to what SHOULD have been more in his career.

Ferrari would be the 1st Constructor to reach 650 race starts and with it, they would break Alain Prosts all time win record.

Few Driver Swaps happening here..

Jean Alesi went from Prost to Jordan, and he was replaced by Heinz Harald Frentzen who was sacked by Jordan a few races prior.

So this was it.

David Coulthard, try as he might was 37 points behind the Immovable German, M. Schumacher.

He NEEDED a miracle to keep the championship fight alive.

Could the Mclarens deal some damage, or would the Ferrari combination be too strong..

Well, all types of records would be broken and matched this day..

Campiones! (1st Constructor to win 11 Championships)

It also might not have meant much, but this would be the final ever fastest lap for Mika Hakkinen.

It would also be the last ever start for Luciano Burti due to a huge crash in practise at the next GP.

Mike Schumi could take one giant leap forward to his 4th world championship with a win here.

But as the story usually goes at a home GP, it is never that simple.

Montoya took his first ever pole.

One HUGE Crash on the start line would have implications for the rest of the race.

Few things to note, this was the last time the race was held on this classic track.

The race for 2002 would be on a shorter version of the circuit.

This would also be BARs 2nd and last podium until 2004, and the last for a Canadian Driver until 2017.

Mclaren had been mighty strong the last 2 years with David coulthard winning them both.

This year he had the chance to be the first British driver to do it since The great Jim Clark.

As always, the Ferrari and Schumacher was strong but so was the Mclaren package.

DC NEEDED a win to keep his slim titel hopes alive..

But the eventual winner would be an almighty popular one given his season was pretty dreadful up to this point.

Round 10 saw Ralf Schumacher who was already having a very good season pick up his first ever pole position.

Always nervy when its your first.. But could the younger schumacher stave off the competition form his brother, team mate and the flying Scot Coulthard?
