Argentinian F1 Grand Prix 1998

In April 1998 I went to Buenos Aires to watch the Argentinian F1 Grand Prix.  I went with my brother and I remember the sounds of those big F1 engines.  It was impressive and you could listen them from several blocks away.  I wanted Jacques Villeneuve (Williams team) or Mika Hakkinen (McLaren Mercedes team) to win, but the great Michael Schumacher won the race.  The Argentinian driver Esteban Tuero (Argetinian´s favorite) made a pit stop during the race that took too much time.

Enjoy this video of the race and the video of Tuero´s pit stop.
