In his first every Formula one race the Minardi novice, Tuero jumped the start of the race. He was duly called in on lap twelve to serve the mandatory ten second stop / go penalty. As he exited the pit after he had served the penalty he broke the pit lane speed limit and was called in for another ten second stop / go penalty six lap later.

The leaders were on their thirty-first lap when Takagi (on his thirtieth lap) left the pits after his pit stop only to be rammed hard from behind by Tuero’s Minardi at the Casio chicane. “I can only think he locked up his brakes,” said Takagi. “I turned in normally and the next thing I knew he crashed into m and this took us both out of the race.” Tuero generally agreed; “I touched Takagi, who had just come out of the pits. I was faster, saw a gap and trued to overtake him but my wheels locked and unluckily I went into him.” Tuero’s Minardi was pitched into the air and as it landed parts of it’s bodywork shattered, littering the circuit with lethal carbon fibre debris. The next car to arrive on the scene was Schumacher’s Ferrari. He must have run over a piece of the debris and picked up a puncture because as he passed the start finish line on lap thirty- two his right rear tyre exploded. Schumacher continued for a corner before he stopped to retire the flailing carcass of the tyre beating a whole through the Ferrari’s right side pod. Championship over for Schumacher.
