San Marino Grand Prix 1998 - Race Schedule and Countdown

David Coulthard bounced back from his Argentine disappointment with victory at Imola, leading a McLaren one-two finish at Ferrari's home circuit. The Scot controlled the race from start to finish, while Schumacher could only manage second place despite desperate efforts to win in front of the Tifosi. Eddie Irvine completed the podium with third for Ferrari, giving the home fans something to cheer about.

The result was particularly painful for Ferrari and their supporters, as McLaren demonstrated their superiority at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. Häkkinen extended his championship lead with another strong points finish, while Schumacher fell further behind in the standings. McLaren's dominance at Ferrari's spiritual home underlined the scale of the challenge facing the Scuderia in their quest to match the Silver Arrows.
