Alesi attacked Irvine on the inside but he miscalculated the gap left by the Ulsterman. Alesi’s Benetton collided with the number two Ferrari of Irvine. Alesi virtually ripped the side pod of the right hand side of the car but he drove it back to the pits, Gilles Villeneuve style to be informed by the team that the car was knackered.

After a problem at the start with the “parking brake” on his Benetton Alesi was down in thirteenth place by the end of the first lap. He was too fired up and attempted an over ambitious move on Salo, his Benetton savaging the Tyrrell from behind. He incurred a $2500 fine from the FIA for the incident and a further $10,000 for not reporting to the race control before he left the circuit.

In the sprint down to the Tamburello chicane Alesi made contact with Jacques Villeneuve’s Williams. The French Canadian’s Williams sustained a left rear tyre deflation and he had to pit at the end of the lap. Villeneuve later had to retire with suspension damage whose legacy probably began in the clash with Alesi.

Alesi triggered a multiple pile up at the start that saw the race red flagged. Alesi was quoted as saying, “The track was slippery and I just lost it on the tight line.” Mika Salo who was behind the Ferrari had to brake hard in avoidance, only to be rammed from behind by Badoer’s Minardi. In the mêlée Panis’s Ligier collected the second Minardi of Martini who was knocked into Herbert‘s Benetton. With Alesi’s car stranded on the racing line, leaking oil and radiator fluid onto the track the race had to be red flagged.

In Saturday qualifying Alesi’s Ferrari rolled to a halt opposite Rascasse. The engine had stalled due to a hydraulic problem in the gearbox. He dipped the clutch and as the marshals were pushing the car to safety he let the clutch in and received what was effectively a push start. This was clearly illegal and the race stewards banned him from using his race car for the balance of the session.

Crashed out of the race on lap forty-one as he came across Martin Brundle’s spun Ligier in Tabac. The inevitable conclusion to Alesi’s emergency avoidance. Alesi later remarked, “I was pushing very hard and I think could have fought for the lead. But as had happened on previous occasions I found myself behind Brundle, who slowed me down for two laps even though he was a lap down and much slower than me. Despite being showed the blue flag Brundle was driving so much on the limit to block me he eventually touched the guardrail at Tabac and spun in front of me, I was so close I could not avoid the accident.”

If it has to be like this I would rather not bother.” Ferrari fined Alesi $20,000 by Ferrari for his emotionally charged out burst!

Schumacher exited the pit-lane after his first stop just behind Alesi. Schumacher could not allow his new tyre advantage to slip him by and he needed to pass Alesi quickly. On lap twenty-three Schumacher drew up alongside Alesi on the Brabham straight. There was not way Alesi was going to give way and he swung his Ferrari into Schumacher’s Benetton. The Ferrari’s left front tyre hooked inside the Benetton’s left rear tyre. The Ferrari’s front wings were shredded and although Alesi kept ahead both were off the track a few meters later. Alesi pitted for a new nose cone. Schumacher later pitted to have his tyres investigated but had to retire on lap twenty-six due to the suspension damage that his Benetton had sustained. Schumacher was not happy, “It was a very unnecessary action that Alesi took because I was clearly fast than him. I don’t understand what was going on in his brain. Was it switched off? He’d better keep out of my way at the Benetton Party tonight because this wasn’t the way I want to finish my season. Ok the Williams were quick but I would have been happy to finish the season second here.”

Alesi ruined his one stop strategy with a piece of immature driving. He was trying to lap David Brabham and the Australian had blocked him twice and so in the chicane after the tunnel Alesi muscled his way past, making contact and damaging his Ferrari’s nose cone.
“Brabham blocked me twice when I tried to pass him. First at Lowes, the next at the chicane after the tunnel where I could not avoid making contact… There are too many drivers in F1 who do not deserve a super-licence.” Brabham saw thing differently; “I was aware of Alesi closing behind me. I felt I had the racing line and I was going to let him past after that corner. To my amazement he lunged inside me before the chicane, hitting my offside rear wheel and breaking my suspension. End of story for me today.”

Alesi made a huge cock-up on lap forty-two. He spun in the tight ess bends that lead on to the start finish straight. In his efforts to perform a “spin turn” to get him facing in the correct direction he collected the Jordan of Ruben Barrichello. The front suspension on both cars was terminally damaged and both retired on the spot. Rubens was mortified; “He just didn’t measure the distance between us. I am so disappointed because today I really believed I could have finished on the podium.”

Alesi was in such a rush to get out to make is final run in Friday qualifying that he did not allow for the lack of fuel in his car. He used up too much on his out-lap and he crossed the line to start his lap with twenty seconds of the session remaining. This was all for nought as he ran out of fuel on his hot-lap.

Jean Alesi and Martin Brundle had a fracas in the final moments of Friday Qualifying as the track dried. Alesi accused Brundle of baulking him badly on what he’d hope would be his fastest lap of the session. Alesi was running on slicks when he caught Brundle’s McLaren at La Source hairpin. In the run down the hill to Eau Rogue Alesi pulled along side Brundle but Brundle held his line and edged Alesi out. Alesi got past Brundle on the run up to Les Combs and he purposefully held the English man up on the run down to Balanchimont. Alesi was outraged after the session and stormed down to the McLaren pit to give Brundle a piece of his mind. Alesi voiced the opinion that Ron Dennis had only hired Brundle in 1994 as he could get no one else and he hoped he would be replaced in 1995 with someone with some “real talent.” “Alesi was shouting bad words in bad English. We’ve had our run-ins before at Brazil where were crashed and at Imola two years ago. After those incident he said he was going to kill me. He is a Hothead.“ Brundle commented. Alesi was unrepentant; “I don’t think that Martin’s actions were correct, so I went to tell him personally as I think these things should be discussed face to face.” Remarked Alesi, in a manner of total understanding.

Alesi came into the pits for his first pit stop at the end of lap fourteen. He was stationary for 7.8 seconds when he went to accelerate away. The Ferrari lurched forwards and ground to a stop. Alesi fiddled with the gear change leavers and managed to get the car to creep forward before it stalled again. Alesi unbuckled himself and stormed away form the car. Behind the garage he threw the keys to his Ferrari road car and drove flat out in a Alfa 164 all the way to his boat on the French Rivera. Ferrari’s official reason for his retirement at the timer was transmission failure. John Barnard later refuted the claim, revealing that Alesi had stripped the dog rings on the Ferrari’s first gear. He did this by selecting the ratio a millisecond before the clutch had engaged; “If he just clamed down, let the revs drop back and engaged third he could have probably got back in the race.”

On lap thirty-nine Alesi had a miserable end to a miserable weekend when he plunged into the side of Davis Brabham’s Simtek whilst he was attempting to lap the slower car. Brabham accused Alesi of being overaggressive and Alesi reposted with the accusation that Brabham was not using his mirrors. Form a spectator’s point of view it looked as if Alesi had initiated an overtaking manoeuvre form too far back and Brabham was innocent. Brabham was given a one race suspended ban, much to the indignation of F1’s fraternity. Earlier in the year Brabham had been punted out at Monaco by Alesi and he now he did not mince his words; “I must say I was surprised to get hit but when I turned round and was that it was Jean Alesi I wasn’t surprised at all.”

In Saturday qualifying Alesi, cruising back to the pits had a misunderstanding on the track with his team mate Gerhard Berger. Berger had missed the chequered flag and so his cooling off lap turned into a frenzied attack on the circuit. Coming into Varante Ascari Alesi caught a glimpse of Berger in his rear view mirrors and moved to the left to let his team mate past. Berger moved to the left fractionally before Alesi and had to brake hard to avoid he sister Ferrari. Berger immediately lost control and span, his Ferrari slamming into the barrier on the left hand side of the circuit, then it rebounded across the track, skimmed over the gravel trap and slammed into the tyre barriers on the opposite side of the circuit. Berger walked away from the massive shunt. He was happy that the only ill effect from the crash had been an official reprimand form the race stewards.

Halfway around lap thirty Senna dived up the inside of Alesi under braking for Tosa to relieve the Ferrari driver of third position. Berger was a couple of car lengths back and he tried to follow Senna through. The right front wheel on Berger’s McLaren hit the left rear wheel on Alesi’s Ferrari with enough force to pitch the F92Athe air. It then landed heavily, half spinning back across the track, into the MP4/7B. Both men were out and both magnanimously put it down to a racing incident, “one of those things.” With no Ferrari left in the race the Tifosi left in droves.

On lap twenty-eight Alesi was charging hard when he came up to lap Suzuki. Alesi dived up the inside of the Larrousse and Suzuki turned in. Both drivers were eliminated on the spot. There was some justice for Alesi as FISA laid the blame squarely on Suzuki’s shoulders, giving his a $10,000 fine for “dangerous driving.”

The top teams were planning to run for the entire without stopping for tyres thus careful driving in the early stages was a must. Alesi made a tactical masterstroke having the hard “ A” compound tyres put on the left side of is Ferrari, the side that would take the lions hare of the punishment. At the start tyre conservation seemed to go out of the window as Alesi surged past Prost and then going into the first chicane on the second lap he attempted an extremely optimistic move on Patrese’s FW14. Alesi lost control of his F643 under braking and span across the high kerb into the gravel. It was an almost repeat performance of the last year’s race where he completed a similar manoeuvre in his Tyrrell. This time he was able to get back to the pits to have his nose cone replaced. He would set the fastest lap as he worked his way back up to twelfth but he eventually succumbed to engine failure on lap thirty.

On lap five Schumacher pulled along side Piquet but the Brazilian failed to see his young German team mates and he edged over, pitching Schumacher in to a spin. The spinning Benetton was collected by Alesi in his Ferrari and then Nicola Larini piled in too. “Early on I spun on a slow section of the circuit,” Schumacher explained, “then I tried to pass Nelson on the left but he didn’t see me, so I moved to the right, got wheel spin in a puddle and went sideways. It didn’t seem like a problem but Alesi tried to pass me and hit my front wheel.”

At the start of the race Alesi made a poor start and de Cesaris got a flyer. The result was that the Dallara moved ahead of the Tyrrell but Alesi was not going to be perturbed. He fought back at the entrance to the first corner. Both Alesi and de Cesaris tried to run around the outside of Patrese’s Williams. There was not enough room and the Tyrrell and the Dallara made contact with each other. The Dallara was pitched into the gravel; de Cesaris’s race was run. Alesi was fortunate not to have damaged the suspension on his Tyrrell.

Alesi was recovering from a pit stop to replace his Tyrrell’s nose box when on lap twenty-seven he made a decisive move on Donnelly’s Lotus going into the old pits hair pin. As he got off the dry line he hit standing water and lost control of his Tyrrell and aquaplaned down the escape road where Nannini had crashed his Benetton earlier in the race. The organisers had no provision for craning away abandoned cars at that point on the track and the wayward Tyrrell smashed into the abandoned Benetton. The gearbox of the 019 Tyrrell struck the Benetton in the centre of it’s TUB, writing it off totally. Alesi walked away uninjured.

In the opening laps Capelli and Alesi were running very close to each other. Capelli took a run at Alesi and Alesi slammed the door shut in his face in a very severe style indeed, the two cars banging wheels in the process. Alesi had a touch more of the red mist than usual as he was in front of his home crowd.

Alesi arrived at the German Grand Prix surrounded by a cloud of controversy. He had signed contract to drive for both Ferrari and Williams for 19991. To compound matters he was still contracted to drive for Tyrrell in 1991. In an attempt to ease the speculation Alesi gave a press conference in the Tyrrell motor home, accompanied by Ken Tyrrell who kept assuring the press that Alesi would be driving for his team in the next year. “At the moment I am going through a difficult period of my life,” explained Alesi. “ I asked Ken to be here to help you understand that he gave me the biggest chance of my life, he’s continuing to help me now – regarding my decision next year whether I stay with him or not.” In reality Jean had succumbed to the lure of Marenello, in his heart he was already there.

After running wide at the first turn on lap five Alesi was to make another error in the race. Coming in for his pit stop on lap twenty-two Alesi’s approach was far too hot and he missed his pit box completely. He had to complete one more tour before he was able to pit again. Alesi’s race ended with only four laps left when the CV joint on his Tyrrell failed. An artefact of running wide at turn one perhaps?

In his lat race for Tyrrell Alesi was having a wild time. In the two days for practice he barely took to the circuit once without spinning. “I have had a few spins but that’s because I have been pushing much harder. W did some work on the race set-up this morning and it has resulted in a significant improvement in the chassis balance.”

Halfway around the first lap of the race Frentzen and Alesi contrived to hit each other. Frentzen continued with no ill effect but Alesi’s Sauber was pitched into a spin from which he recovered. “That incident with Frentzen on the first lap really ruined my race. He tried to come around the outside of me and we touched but when you are in the pack like that everyone is trying everything they can,” reflected Alesi in philosophical mood.

At the first start Ralf Schumacher stalled on the grid and there was chaos as cars darted all over the track. As the cars funnelled down in to the first corner Wurz attempted to outbreak Alesi’s Sauber on the inside line. Alesi moved to the inside to make room for Frentzen’s Williams and caught Wurz’ Benetton. Wurz was launched into a series of barrel roles landing right side up in the gravel trap. It was a miraculous escape for the young Austrian. Herbert and Trulli were caught up in the incident to and the race was red flagged.

In the run up to the hairpin corner Alesi and Fisichella were side by side after Fisichella had made his first fuel stop. In the Remus Kurve the two drivers collided. Both were eliminated on the spot. ”I had a light fuel load and went for the outside as I braked for the corner,” Alesi explained. “But as I turned in he slid into me and we both spun. Because of the steep uphill gradient and the long first gear we were using I stalled the engine when I tried to restart.” Amazingly Giancarlo was as diplomatic, “I don’t want to complain about jean Alesi, usually he is a very fair driver, but this incident could have been avoided.”

In qualifying Hakkinen was slowing coming into the last chicane on the track about to start his hot lap when Alesi came upon him on his hot lap. The loss of down force caused Alesi to straight-line the chicane and spin in front of Hakkinen, both of their laps in the bin. “As a result of this I did not get the chicane to improve my time.” Reported Hakkinen. “I had to ease up slightly because I didn’t want to catch Frentzen, who was a head of me, too quickly. I think Jean may have got too close and possibly lost front aerodynamics. He went straight and spun.” Most observers agreed it was six of one and half a dozen of the other.
