for Ferrari before making his F1 debut with the Minardi team at the start
of the 1996 season. He made eight appearances with the Italian outfit before
moving to Jordan for the start of the 1997 Championship, where he impressed
so much that Jordan and Benetton went to court to secure his services for
1998. Chiefly responsible for the best crashes of 1998, he managed 2nd
at Monaco
and Canada
as well as an excellent pole position at Austria.

was disappointing, and the exuberant young Roman will this year be looking
to complete his first race win. 1998 Two second places and his first Career
