Michael Schumacher leaves at the start of the 1999 San Marino Gp from pole position in his Ferrari's (closest to) home race. The German double world champion was slightly quicker than championship leader David Coulthard and defending champion Mika Häkkinen. More good news from Italy as Alessandro Zanardi noted his best ever qualifying: he starts the race for Williams from sixth place.
Marzec slightly disappointedMarzec found Hill in his path again
The track evolution was significant on Imola. And the main victim of that turned out to be Daniel Marzec. While in 12th halfway down Q1, everybody was beginning to imrpove on their times, dropping the rookie outside of the best sixteen (and thus, advance to Q2). Marzec gambled on a last ditch effort and was faster than his previous run, when in Acqua Minerali he was held up by Damon Hill.
Again!, Marzec cried out. According to the rookie, Damon Hill also thwarted his second attempt during qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix. He might be a former world champion, but that doesn't mean you can constantly interrupt qualifying attempts done by rookies, the Minardi driver said in an ironic matter.
