1999 San Marino GP

​

Utzer strikes again
German driver Ben Utzer claimed his third consecutive pole, ahead of McLaren driver Aidan Keranen. Lintner in third could beat his teammate for the first time this season, and Kederer in 4th will be hoping to score his first points this year. In 3rd row the two title contenders of 1998, with Hunsley again being slightly ahead of Engberink. In 7th Saidy, who again couldn't match the pace of his teammate. Said in 8th, Rautavaara in 9th and Buurlage in 10th complete the top 10. Poirier might lose some ground on Utzer in the standings, as he only qualified 14th. Same goes for Foro in 12th. In the last two rows first the Minardis, then the Saubers. Both teams are yet to score points, and it doesn't look like they'll do so this round.

Hmm, Jack so it seems our rivalry is continuing here as well

Spoiler: Post-Qualifying Interview

"Andy, you've qualified 16th for the San Marino GP. What's that like?"

I've reached the Best 16 Qualifiers knockout position, it's not bad for me at all, but couldn't get my car to qualify higher than 16th. But one race I would get something good.

Spoiler: Race Results

​

Grand Slam for Utzer
Perfect race today by Ben Utzer, starting from pole, leading every lap, taking the win and also the fastest lap. At the start the top 3 remained unchanged, while Hunsley could get past Kederer. That lastest only for a few laps though, as a mistake while trying to pass Lintner dropped him to 6th. First retirements then in lap 4 already, Said spun after a failed overtaking attempt on Saidy, and Foro crashed into him. A few moments later Black also retired, electric problems stopped his car only meters away from the pits. In lap 7 Poirier and Wolf retired, the former run wide at Acque Minerali, when trying to get back on track he crossed the path of Wolf. Diehl's engine failed in lap 11, meaning that there were only 16 cars left running. In the meantime Kederer had passed Lintner for 3rd, and Hunsley got past Engberink for 5th.
The 3 stoppers then came in around lap 16. Utzer's gap was big enough to keep the lead, while Kederer dropped to the end of the field due to a second unscheduled stop only one lap after his planned stop. After the 2 stoppers also had done their first stop, it was Utzer leading ahead of Lintner, Engberink, Rautavaara, Laad and the two Saubers. Apart from Utzer none of them had pitted yet though. At the halfway point they all came in for their one and only stop, as well as Utzer for his second. Around the same time Goddard retired with a gearbox failure. In lap 42 Engberink retired from 3rd with a broken suspension, as well as Ancevski with a blown engine.
Nothing else changed at the front in the remaining laps, Utzer cruised home to his second win this season, now having a 10 point lead over Poirier. Lintner in second and Laad in 3rd completed the podium. Expect for Utzer, everyone in the top 6 scored his first points this season.

FIA Press Conference
@Benutzername: Things are looking extremely good for you right now, with the supreme speed you currently have do you think there's anyone who can stop you?
@Márk Lintner @Jimlaad43: Both of you scored your first points of the season, what was different today compared to the previous races?

The past has shown that me and Rami do have quite a similar speed. That Rami is behind me so far means that either he has a "low" at the moment or that i have a "high" at the moment. Both wont stay forever whcih means that things will change throughout the season. But i am really confident after these good results and amazing pace of our car and me in these 3 weekends. I never have ben as good as now in the F1 series.
