Monaco Grand Prix 2001 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Michael Schumacher controlled the Monaco Grand Prix from start to finish, leading home a Ferrari one-two finish on the streets of Monte Carlo. The reigning champion demonstrated his mastery of the challenging street circuit, managing the race perfectly while teammate Rubens Barrichello followed him across the line in second. Eddie Irvine claimed a surprise podium for Jaguar in third, giving the British team their best result of the season.

The Ferrari dominance at Monaco was total, with both red cars controlling the race from the front and never looking troubled by the McLaren or Williams challengers. Irvine's podium finish was a bright spot for Jaguar, proving the team could occasionally challenge for strong results when everything came together. Schumacher's victory extended his championship lead to commanding proportions, and with Ferrari's reliability advantage becoming increasingly apparent, his march toward a fourth title appeared unstoppable as the season reached its midpoint.
