Cracking! Barring a miracle from Jordan, we've got 5th place secure! 
Not bad when you consider that Alain has had to resort to pimping out Coulthard and Fisichella in order to raise funds

Re: F1 Management Series 1997 - Japanese Grand Prix - Race!
At least Tyrrell got another 7th place finish from Kenny Brack. Which will further help us keeping 10th in the teams standings. Yeah, we were hoping to put another point on the board for us but we take anything to finish ahead of Minardi and to a lesser extent Lola.

Did not expect to take another victory this season! A good result at Jerez will seal second place for us in the Constructors.

1997 European Grand Prix - Jerez - Qualifying
The teams were greeted in Jerez by a rare damp track, and although teams turned up their engines and took last ditch risks to try and make the most of the remainder of 1997, it was a matter of taking advantage of the drying track at the right time. Michael Schumacher did so and took pole, trying to stake his claim to enter 1998 as the form man. He was joined by Rubens Barrichello, whose qualifying effort will put him in the frame to take the title. He will need a win though to have any aspirations, as the rest lies in team-mate Alesi's hands. Alesi qualified 8th, but his race efforts this year have been incredibly strong. An excellent performance from Jordan saw their cars lie 5th and 7th, as they seek a miracle to pip Prost for 5th, although they must overcome Fisichella. A special mention must go to Stefan's Pedro Diniz, who qualified a season-best 18th place.

1997 European Grand Prix - Jerez - Race
An amazing race threw up another surprise result, as Heinz-Harald Frentzen took his second win in a row to help Benetton finish in 2nd in the constructors' championship. The first corner offered much in the way of excitement, as Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello were side-by-side until Barrichello tagged the Ferrari; Schumacher's rear wheel was punctured by the Williams' front wing and put an end to an increasingly disappointing year for the German. Barrichello continued to lead after that, but pulling out of the pits a similar issue befell the Brazilian. Kenny Brack was slow in getting out of the way into the corner, and managed to bang wheels with Barrichello. Both retired; Brack had a loose wheel and Barrichello was unable to limp back to the pits with a puncture. This meant that Alesi had the title wrapped up by default, and cruised to 6th to grab the final point. Frentzen inherited the lead after the aforementioned skirmish, holding some margin ahead of second-placed man Johnny Herbert. Fisichella took 3rd to get his first podium of the year, followed by Hakkinen, Wurz and Alesi. 1997 certainly ended on a spectacular note.
