High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1998 Formula One season was the 49th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on March 8, 1998, and ended on November 1 after sixteen races. The season had many rule changes, including the introduction of grooved tyres and making the cars narrower to reduce downforce. It was clear that McLaren had adapted to the new rule changes best as Mika Hakkinen comfortably won the first two races, with team-mate David Coulthard finishing second in both. With Goodyear making steps forward before Argentina, Michael Schumacher was able to win there and take second at Imola, both slow and twisty circuits. At Spain, however, the fast corners favoured McLaren and again they raced away to another 1-2 finish. A further win for Hakkinen in Monaco gave him a 17 point lead over Coulthard with Schumacher a further 5 points behind. Schumacher fought back to win the next 3 races, while mistakes and bad luck cost both Hakkinen and Coulthard points.
