Anything happens in Grand Prix racing, and it usually does.
I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well.
... the lead is now 6.9 seconds. In fact it's just under 7 seconds
And he's lost both right front tires.
Ferrari leads, McLaren second, McLaren second, Jordan third, and Benneton fifth and sixth.
The European drivers have adapted to this circuit extremely quickly, especially Paul Radisich who's a New Zealander.
