High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1998 German Grand Prix was held at the Hockenheimring on August 2, 1998. Mika Hakkinen won the race for McLaren Mercedes. Mika Hakkinen took pole position ahead of team-mate David Coulthard. Jacques Villeneuve qualified in third, in a new long- wheelbase Williams. Ralf Schumacher was fourth. Michael Schumacher, Hakkinen's main championship rival, qualified ninth after a series of problems throughout practice. Ferrari's long-wheelbase chassis, making its Grand Prix debut, was dismissed by Schumacher after he tried it during the friday practice sessions. Back in his old car, he spun off on his first lap during first practice on Saturday, and then suffered an engine failure early in second practice. There were also various mutterings that the Ferraris were off the pace as McLaren had threatened to protest about the Italian team's new braking system, and some were sure it had been removed to the team's obvious detriment.
