With the drivers championship heating up, we return to the scene where just one year earlier, the crashes of all crashes happened.

Luckily, this time it was dry and Coulthard had a decent race.

But what about Hakkinen & Irvine? What about Frentzen who was in the battle too?

Also, this WOULD be the 56th and last time 1996 Champion Damon Hill would score championship points.

(Also, the fact that Schumi was still in 5th place in the championship was amusing)
