Villeneuve takes lead in championship again
© 1997 ATLAS F1

Sunday May 25, 1997

Summary


Jacques Villeneuve won the Grand Prix of Spain on the Barcelona circuit. He took the lead right at the start and insured a gap, which he could sustain throughout the race. Olivier Panis was getting very close towards the end but there were just too few laps left for the Frenchman to really challenge Villeneuve.

Many teams running Goodyear tyres were suffering from severe tyre wear.

The next issue of Atlas F1 will feature a full race review
