Diniz forced Jacques Villeneuve on to the grass and into a 190 mph spin in free practice. Although Villeneuve did not hit anything he was enraged, telling the world what he thought about the Brazilin rent-a-driver. “I was bundled off the road by one of those drivers who should not be in F1. You shouldn’t be allowed to drive at this level simply because you have $10m!” Villeneuve fumed.

The safety car had to come out between laps fourteen and sixteen. Diniz had spun is Arrows on to the grass and back on to the track. As he had done so his Arrows had collected an amount of turf that was then being dropped on the circuit in great clods as he continued to circulate. This was clearly dangerous and need to be cleared under the safety car.

On the first lap of the race Diniz spun at the hairpin collecting his team mate Salo. Coulthard, having qualified in fourteenth place was well down the order and had to spin his McLaren to avoid the strickened Arrows. Suddenly Mika Salo performed a spin turn and slewed right into Coulthard’s McLaren, damaging its nose cone. Coulthard needed a trip to the pits at the end of the lap to have a replacement fitted. The safety car was deployed in view of all the mayhem so Coulthard did not loos too much time. Salo pulled in at the end of the first lap, too damaged to continue Diniz got as far as lap four before the damage his Arrows had sustained put him out of the race.

Diniz finally spun out of the race on lap eleven. He finally succumbed to the rear brake problem he was having. “I had a problem with my brakes and my rear wheels were locking again and again. I braked into Lesmo and my wheels locked. I could not catch the car, so I spun off. I was unable to re-select a gear, so that was that.”

Diniz span out of the race on lap nineteen after he lost concentration, having just allowed his team mate, Jean Alesi past. “”I made a good start and ran ahead of Jean for the first nineteen laps but then Mr Sauber told me to let him by. I did this at the chicane at the top of the hill, but I was upset and lost my concentration and spun under braking. The car was over steering in any case and I let myself get caught out.”

At the re-start Damon hill’s Jordan slowed dramatically in the first turn due to an electrical problem with his Jordan. Alex Wurz was right behind Hill and he had to swerve dramatically in order to avoid the Jordan. In doing so he collected the Sauber of Diniz, pitching it into a barrel role. (Wurz was eliminated there and then.) The Sauber slammed down on its rollover bar, skidding across the kerb and onto the grass, breaking the structure in the process. The safety car was deployed while the bruised but intact Diniz was extracted from the car. It was a lucky escape. “I had a good start, but when I came out of the first corner I had no power and could not get out of the way.” Explained Hill. “The ensuing accident was very nasty; I was it happen and there was nothing I could do. I was Pedro fly past me and was very worried as I was on the scene as they were tending to him. I am very relived to hear he is OK.”
