Description

Michael Schumacher turned the tide on McLaren's dominant start to the 1998 F1 season with a surprise victory in Argentina, having collided with David Coulthard to take the lead early in the race.

Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join Glenn Freeman to look back on how Schumacher and Ferrari got themselves into the hunt after McLaren dominated the first two races of the year, and how the Goodyear tyre that helped Ferrari worked against reigning champion Williams.

They also discuss how F1's new rules for 1998 were being viewed by the public, Jordan's nightmare start to 1998, McLaren signing a teenage karter called Lewis Hamilton, Benetton's failed attempt to steal Ford away from Stewart, and Jean Alesi running into Sauber team-mate Johnny Herbert on their first lap out of the pits during practice!
