WILLIAMS SECURES ITS LAST CONSTRUCTORS' TITLE . After years of Williams dominance (their ninth constructors' title and fifth in the past six seasons) the next few seasons would see McLaren and then Ferrari begin to dominate. Penultimate race of 1997 with Villeneuve (Williams) and Schumacher (Ferrari) battling it out for the title. Villeneuve, leading Schumacher by 9 points, was involved in a yellow flag incident before the start and although Williams appealed, and he raced, any points were likely to be erased. He tried to keep Schumacher and Irvine behind, but Suzuka expert Irvine (he'd raced Formula 3 in Japan) got through and after a pit stop Schumacher was allowed by his team mate to go through to win but Frentzen's late charge to second brought Williams the 1997 Constructors' title. Schumacher now led the championship by one point going into the last race at the European GP (Jerez) but in his infamous deliberate ramming of an overtaking Villeneuve he threw away the championship and was disqualified from the championship. Race Podium: Michael Schumacher 1st, Heinz-Harald Frentzen 2nd, Eddie Irvine 3rd. Final Championship Standings Villeneuve 81 points Schumacher 78 points (Disqualified from championship later) Postage by airmail is now possible to most countries again.
