....ITV's coverage of qualifying. Cant remember if Damon Hill won in Hungary in an Arrows?? Can anyone confirm this ridiculous notion...

[Mr Beckerman]

Ah, thanks you for bringing that glorious memory back for me.

He was leading for a hell of a long time and then had hydraulic problems. I think it was the last or penultimate lap when Villenueve overtook him.

Happy days.

I think he was leading and he broke down on the last lap.
If i remember correctly it was a 50p bit of plastic on the throttle linkage that failed.

Last lap - Hill coasted in second.

Thanks for that. What year? '97??

[alcad]

Yep '97

And he actually overtook Michael's Ferrari early on!

He did a good job fending off Villeneuve though, IIRC he had to go round Hill on the grass - fantastic race!!

Was really gutted for Hill though.

Think I might have it on video somewhere.....
