#OnThisDay in 2015: We witnessed this heavyweight SLUGFEST!
Formula One History 
1998 #OnThisDay May 24, McLaren driver Mika Hakkinen claimed his only Monte Carlo win at the 1998 Monaco Grand Prix with a dominant performance, securing pole position and the fastest lap.
A fierce second-place battle between Alex Wurz and Michael Schumacher ended dramatically. Schumacher, eager to overtake Wurz to chase Hakkinen, tried various tactics before ultimately colliding with Wurz in a clumsy manoeuvre at the Loews hairpin, damaging his rear suspension and forcing him to pit, losing three laps.
Although Wurz initially seemed unscathed, his suspension failed when he pitted for fresh tyres, causing a high-speed crash in the tunnel. Fortunately, he was unhurt, while his Benetton teammate Giancarlo Fisichella took second place, with the Ferrari of Eddie Irvine finishing third.

These wings were intended to provide extra front downforce, but the FIA banned them immediately on safety grounds. There were also suggestions that they were banned because of their unsightly appearance.
