2001 German GP *Round 12* - ITV Commentary (James & Martin)

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.

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 French GP *Round 10* (ITV Commentary - James & Martin)

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..

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.
