The then de facto team leader of the Scuderia - flanked by substitute Mika Salo - undercut McLaren's David Coulthard to take the lead a little after the mid-way point of the 71-lap race. The win eventually set Irvine up for an all-out championship battle with Mika Hakkinen that the Ulsterman would ultimately lose later on in Japan by just two points. ©TheCahierArchive
