2001 British GP *Round 11* (ITV Commentary - Murray & Martin)

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.

2001 European GP *Round 9* (ITV Commentary - James Allen & Martin)

Pundits were starting to ask if favouring DC Over Hakkinen for the championship was to be a thing? DC stated he just focused on winning races and that Mika realised the complexity of the situation. But the Williams were on fire over recent rounds and Montoya (Who at this point, had only finished once in 8 races) NEEDED a result! After missing the previous race after a HUGE crash, Jordans Heinz Harald Frentzen was back replacing Zonta again.

2001 Monaco GP *Round 7* (ITV Commentary - Murray & Martin)

Lot of drivers had many reasons to be optimistic here. David Coulthard, Fresh off that amazing Austria win, took pole position here. (and it would actually become his LAST ever pole) Schumacher aimed at tying Graham Hills 5 wins at Monaco record. Eddie Irvine had always gone well here too, but also Mika Hakkinen was looking in good shape. This could go any which way, unfortunately for one driver, a 1998 Japanese GP repeat was about to ruin it all. Where a NEW team got its first EVER podium here in 1997, the team that it took over would also get its first podium here. Michael Schumahcer would also be the first German driver to start 150 races and the Benetton team would be the 10th constructor to start 250 races.
