Brazilian Grand Prix 1998 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Mika Häkkinen made it two victories from two races with another dominant performance at Interlagos, controlling the Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position. David Coulthard secured another McLaren one-two finish, while Michael Schumacher salvaged third place for Ferrari after a difficult weekend. The result extended Häkkinen's perfect start to the season, with McLaren appearing untouchable in the opening flyaway races.

Schumacher's podium finish kept him in mathematical contention but already trailed Häkkinen by 16 points after just two races. The gap underlined McLaren's technical superiority and Ferrari's struggle to match their pace. With the MP4-13 proving fast and reliable, Häkkinen looked set to cruise to a second consecutive championship unless Ferrari could find significant performance gains.
