Schumacher Vs Frentzen Vs Villeneuve (Monaco 1997)

"It was chaotic," Irvine said. "The Ferrari must be a very strong car because I was hitting cars up the back and being hit from behind and from the sides. God knows how many contacts I had with other cars."

Damon Hill was in agreement. "The first lap was absolutely extraordinary," he said. "It was so slippery. We were going slowly and everybody was trying like mad to pass everyone else. They were going around the outside, the inside. I went round Loews Hairpin with four cars abreast."
