The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonistsMichael Schumacher(Benetton) andDamon Hill(Williams). Hill, who started frompole position,retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring astop-go penaltyfor speeding in the pit lane.

I'm not quite sure what are you doing, but why did you created the2010F1season races? Even though you wanted to create it, you some common sense, the template is from 2000-2009, not 2000-2010Aquadeias(talk)08:13, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TheDAMS GD-01was an unracedFormula Onecar used by theFrenchmotorsportteam,Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport(DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS andReynardengineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.
