SkinnyShirt Update 2023 – What Happened After Shark Tank
By Steve Dawson

SkinnyShirt on Shark Tank
SkinnyShirt Now in 2023 – The After Shark Tank Update
Julie Kalimian, the founder of SkinnyShirt, had a high-powered career in the publishing industry. She was the Vice-President of marketing for none other than Newsweek magazine, and had valuable experience in sales marketing, business development and design. With four children under five years old she was keen to spend those valuable early years in her children's lives with them, so she left the corporate World behind her to become a stay at home mom.
After a year or so, she found that as busy as her new life was, it wasn't hectic enough to stop her from thinking about business opportunities. The former high-flyer soon discovered one business opportunity that affected her every day.
When she had been working for big business, she had loved dressing in fashionable, well-coordinated styles, but now that she had far less time to spend getting her outfits together she found that her favorite look, that of a button-down shirt and sweater, would often look bunched-up and untidy. She looked for a shirt that had a collar, but also a stretchy quality to it, one that would be far more figure-hugging. To her surprise she found that there was no product of the kind currently on the market.
It was the opportunity Julie had been looking for, she designed the SkinnyShirt, a cross between a button-down shirt and a camisole with the ability to reduce wrinkles and creases for those who wore it. In 2011 she launched the SkinnyShirt company and things went well initially. However, after problems with manufacturers producing sub-standard SkinnyShirts, combined with the inevitable cash-flow problems that all new start-ups face, the SkinnyShirt business almost went under, but Julie managed to keep the company alive.
In May 2013 she applied to appear on Shark Tank, and after a lengthy application process she received the news that she had not been selected to appear on the show. The producers of Shark Tank suggested that she apply again next year and Julie did exactly that, she resubmitted her application and this time she was successful, she eventually pitched her business to the sharks in late 2014.
When Julie appeared on the show she was seeking a $100,000 investment in exchange for 20% equity in her business. She was accompanied by an attractive model named Kirsten who was modelling the ruffled look of a normal shirt under a sweater. The model was attractive, but her shirt was crumpled and untidy, and Julie explained to the sharks that she had solved the problem of the crumpled shirt-sweater combination with her SkinnyShirt.
'Can we do it again?' Robert Herjavec enjoyed the unusual pitch
Julie revealed that there was a unique design and mix of materials that comprised her product, and announced that Kirsten was going to change into a SkinnyShirt to show how much better it looked. Obviously Shark Tank is a family show, so Julie had a screen to protect Kirsten's modesty as she changed, but the screen was backlit so that her silhouette could be seen through the screen. It was an interesting and unusual event in the tank, but the male sharks seemed to enjoy it immensely.
Lori Greiner remarked 'You've got their attention' and she was right, Robert Herjavec was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Barbara Corcoran told Julie it was a great presentation. Robert asked 'Can we do it again?' and the other sharks laughed.
Kirsten re-appeared, looking far more tidy and stylish now that she was wearing a SkinnyShirt, Julie displayed a picture of how Kirsten had looked before to show just how effective the shirt was at improving the shirt-sweater look, and the difference was impressive.
Before and After, the SkinnyShirt was an impressive improvement
Robert inquired what sales had been achieved. Julie replied that sales had been half a million dollars in the last three years, all the sharks looked impressive and Barbara Corcoran exclaimed 'Wow'. Julie continued, revealing that sales this year had been $200,000 so far. Mark Cuban wanted to know what the previous years sales had been, Julie looked momentarily uncomfortable and admitted that the previous years sales had only been in the region of $50,000.
Julie explained that she had encountered problems with her manufacturer at the time, he had provided poor quality products for her and she had been forced to 'eat' the losses from those substandard Shirts, she had also had problems with her inventory as a result. Kevin O'Leary asked if Julie had now found another manufacturer and she confirmed she had.
Robert inquired about the retail cost of the SkinnyShirt and Julie told him that the shirts retailed for $69, for the sleeveless version, and $76 for the long-sleeved shirt. The manufacturing cost was currently only $12.75, but with an investment from the sharks and the ability to place much larger orders, she would be able to reduce the manufacturing cost to $9.50 per unit.
The sales margin was impressive, but the sharks were still pondering Julie's manufacturing difficulties, every time they asked about the subject, Julie seemed to get slightly more flustered, and as the pressure on her grew, she began to fumble her answers.
Mark Cuban wanted to get back to the fluctuating sales figures, he told Julie that her manufacturing problems had affected her sales for two and a half years, yet she had told the sharks that the business had only dealt with the manufacturer who produced poor quality shirts once, and that production run had been sold within a year. He couldn't understand the discrepancy.
Julie attempted to explain the time-line behind the manufacturing problems, but under the pressure she sounded confused at times and did not make her point particularly well, the sharks were beginning to look suspicious of her story, and Kevin O'Leary was poised to strike. He asserted that all of Julie's problems had been logistical ones, Mark Cuban disagreed. Julie attempted another disjointed explanation but that just seemed to annoy Kevin even more.
Lori appealed to her fellow sharks 'Lets not get stuck on the numbers' but Kevin, somewhat predictably, asked her 'Why not?'. Lori explained that bad quality goods had been the problem, not Julie herself. Kevin wasn't swayed, he asked Julie what was to stop a business that already made shirts copying the idea, and crushing her 'Like the Cockroach that she was'. Julie looked a little stunned but replied that she wasn't a cockroach. Kevin told her she had 'No market share in maybe a good idea' but Julie interrupted him. She asserted she had a patent pending, had sold over 10,000 shirts, had a great trademark and branding, and she needed investment for manufacturing and distribution costs.
Kevin exploded at that 'I have to pay for you to learn?' he asked, 'You don't know what you're doing.' he continued, without waiting for an answer. Julie replied that she did know what she was doing but Kevin wasn't going to be argued with, he blasted her for the cash-flow issues that had occurred in the past, until Lori defended her, by asserting that Julie was 'a beginner'. 'I don't care' Kevin shouted back and he and Lori began a heated argument, talking loudly over each other. Kevin eventually seemed to tire of the whole thing and simply announced 'I'm out'.
Mark thought Julie deserved credit for launching the business, but he couldn't see a definitive business plan. Julie interrupted to begin explaining how she would use any investment from the sharks, but Mark shut her down. He told her that her intended use of funds was a cash-management issue, he was far more concerned about her ability to actually manage cash. Her numbers didn't add up, and for that reason he was out.
Robert thought The SkinnyShirt was a good product, but he was less sure about Julie herself. He implied that Julie had no real long-term strategy for growing her business, and because of those doubts he dropped out of the negotiations too.
Lori could see merit in the SkinnyShirt concept, and believed it could be successful. Unfortunately Lori was not a fan of the shirt and sweater look, she was unsure if it was even particularly popular these days and she didn't get the fashion statement. For those reasons Lori was also out.
'This Bully here', Barbara was no fan of Kevin's agressive style of questioning
Barbara was now the only remaining shark, Julie shot her a slightly desperate look but she seemed to know that she was unlikely to get a deal now. Barbara took her time, considering the SkinnyShirt business carefully until she eventually spoke. She told Julie that the way she had conducted herself in the tank was commendable, she had held her ground well against the grilling she had received. Barbara gestured to Kevin on her left and told Julie that she had stood up well to 'This bully here', she gestured to Mark Cuban on her other side and referred to him as a bully too. However Barbara believed that Julie was feeling sorry for herself at the way her manufacturing partner had let her down, she asserted that, in her opinion, self-pity was Julie's Achilles heel, and because of that, she was out too.
The company did quite well following their appearance on Shark Tank. Their products were made available at hundreds of boutiques including The Grommet and QVC and their sales had gone up by a factor of ten, according to Julie. They even introduced new designs and styles for kids.
Unfortunately, their success didn't last. It was announced in 2018 that they would be closing down the business for good. Leading to that, they held a 75% off everything deal, which seemed to garner some interest from customers. The lack of staff, however, meant that there were delays getting the orders out.
As of February 2023, their website no longer exists. If anything, it's almost impossible to get ahold of their products. Their official Facebook page hasn't been updated either—their last post about a Groupon promotion was back in June 2018 and even that didn't gain any traction.
Their official website now shows an error when you try to access their domain
Interestingly enough, they did update their Instagram a few times in 2020. They even announced new stock on ShopBop. It might have just been a short-term thing (getting rid of the last of their stock maybe?), however, as their brand no longer shows up on the site (it gives you an 'Oops! We couldn't find what you were looking for' message).

Missoula County Public Schools have been receiving reports from parents of a suspicious call that appears to be a scam. MCPS Superintendent Mark Thane explains.
Thane says there is no coordination with the school district.
Reports of scam calls from organizations called "SAT/ACT Scholastic Achievement" or "College Level Exams" have been reported nationally. It is unclear if these are the same scam calls occurring in Missoula but the public is advised to do their due diligence before sharing private information over the phone.

The Internet World of Things - A Map of Every Device in the World That's Connected to the Internet
Home Industry Insight Jenrick Group The Internet World of Things - A Map of Every Device in the World That's Connected to the Internet
Gone are the days when it was just your computer that was connected to the internet. Now, many more devices are able to access the internet and exchange data, creating what's known as the 'Internet of things'.
With the continuing growth of the 'internet of things', Jenrick IT found this article from gizmodo featuring a map that shows where in the world the devices are situated and was compiled by simply sending a 'ping' to each device.
THE INTERNET WORLD OF THINGS – A MAP OF THE WORLD'S DEVICES
This fascinating article from gizmodo.com has mapped where every device is located by simply sending a 'ping' to each device. Where is the internet? This map might explain it better than any statistics could ever hope to: The red hot spots show where the most devices that can access the internet are located. A MAP OF EVERY DEVICE IN THE WORLD THAT'S CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET
(please click on the thumbnail image to enlarge)
This map was made on August 2 by John Matherly, the founder of Shodan, a search engine for internet-connected devices. Matherly, who calls himself an internet cartographer, collected the data to put it together by sending ping requests to every IP address on the internet, and storing the positive responses. A ping is a network utility that sends an echo-request message (known as a packet) to an IP address—the internet's version of "hey, are you there?" That part was relatively easy compared to the visualization process, says Matherly.
"It took less than five hours to gather the data, and another 12 hours or so to generate the map image." For that, he used the matplotlib plotting library in the programing language Python.
With its rainbow of connectedness, the map is similar to one produced last year anonymously—which was illegal—and also to this project by CAIDA (these links and the credit to CAIDA has been updated). Although Shodan is well-known for its potentially shady practices that prey upon insecure networks, ping requests—the same thing your internet provider uses to test speed and data loss—are completely benign, Matherly says.
"We've just advanced enough in technology where we can do it on internet-scale."
Basically, Shodan is now able to send and receive the requests fast enough that the world can be queried in just a few hours. Armed with the new process, Matherly plans to track the changes in the globe's internet connectivity over time. With the proliferation of the Internet of Things, we're bound to see some of those black holes slowly colorize over the next few years.

Video: Dana Gentry accused of manufacturing Marlon hit; Gentry: "Fact" Hugh Jackson killed story
"Our reporting on all platforms will be truthful, transparent and respectful; our facts will be accurate, complete and fairly presented. Our analysis will represent our best independent judgment, not our preferences or those of our sources. There will be no hidden agendas in our endeavors." Nevada Current's Ethics Policy
Since its founding in June of 2018, the Nevada Current has produced media content resulting in a bevy of awards across numerous categories for the still nascent publication. Their initial haul, as chronicled at the time by the Current's founding editor Hugh Jackson, included third place honors for the paper's Dana Gentry in the Nevada Press Association's Investigative Story category.
The topic which garnered her the honor was the issue of possible malfeasance in the substance abuse recovery industry. It was an area Gentry began exploring almost immediately upon arriving at the Current as one of the paper's original staff writers, and one she would focus on with regularity through the summer of 2021.
Across the arc of a loosely connected series which Gentry strung together on rehabs, one figure appeared in nearly all of them.
Dave Marlon.
Now that connection, prompted by a leaked deposition video, has brought Gentry's history of writing about Marlon under close scrutiny, resulting in the discovery of stories riddled with undisclosed conflicts of interest, blurred lines of transparency, and, ultimately, the veracity of at least one article.
Marlon, who garnered a modicum of renown in the world of counseling through frequent appearances on the television show Intervention, achieved success across the Las Vegas valley with multiple endeavors in both the business and non-profit sectors. Along with plaudits for his entrepreneurial acumen, he was hailed in the local media for his philanthropic pursuits, with the two areas being prominently touted as he announced a run for Las Vegas City Council in 2019.
It was that announcement, coming just a few months after Gentry began covering his industry for her paper, which prompted the first negative press Marlon had personally encountered.
In breaking the story of Marlon's 2012 arrest for domestic violence in her column covering his campaign kick off, Gentry also recapped some of the challenges his companies had faced which she had previously written about.
Despite the fact that no charges had been filed against him, along with his arrest record having been sealed, and Marlon's campaign offering fierce protestations of innocence in the original piece, four days later Gentry covered the seven year old event again, this time dedicating extensive space to the ordeal; in the process Gentry liberally quoting Marlon's ex-wife, who had recanted her allegations years prior.
This wouldn't be the last story Gentry authored involving Marlon and a source of Gentry's who later disavowed her statements about him, however the next set of pieces she put out revolving around the former candidate, appearing in 2021, were significantly more personal and damaging in nature, and the fallout from it would ultimately cast doubt upon Gentry's status as a journalist.
Rachel Palmer, by her own admission, has lived a life filled with, "efforts to self-medicate," one which found her trapped, "in a cycle of jail, probation, probation violations and jail again." In the same 2018 profile where she offered that painful revelation, Palmer was also described as attending the Marlon founded Solutions Recovery center while actively partaking in a program offered by Clark County's Parole and Probation Division.
Almost three years later, Palmer again appeared in local papers. Now identified as Dave Marlon's assistant, and acting as a primary source, she provided copies of texts that had been exchanged between her and her then boss. These appeared in another Gentry authored article about Marlon and his businesses.
In the story, one which has been updated several times, Palmer, who accused Marlon of coming into work after a positive Covid-19 test, also revealed she had filed an EEOC complaint claiming unfair termination. According to the article, Gentry was unable to garner a response from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission relating to Palmer's complaint prior to the story publishing.
Months after the Palmer centric tale was published, Gentry sent out a tweet shining a light on a strange occurrence. In it Gentry accused a nameless individual, who sat on the board of Dave Marlon's Vegas Stronger charity, of trying to pay her to kill off her reporting on the soon to be reeling Marlon .
Within days of that message, multiple outlets, including Political.tips, reported on an additional legal entanglement Marlon found himself embroiled in. This slew of coverage was initiated due to a lawsuit filed by another former Marlon employee and not related to Rachel Palmer.
In the aftermath of the Political.tips piece on the newest Marlon fiasco, a source close to the Nevada Current approached this publication, pitching a story that the Current's Hugh Jackson had removed Dana Gentry from any further reporting on Marlon, and in doing so took her off yet another brewing investigation.
We declined to pursue it.
Knowledge of the video's existence appeared unexpectedly. A tip came in that Rachel Palmer had sat for a deposition, and during it, made several startling, and professionally disqualifying, claims against Dana Gentry.
In it, Palmer describes Gentry wanting to, "write an article," about Marlon. She then relays a quote from Gentry, sent through a text message, where Gentry confessed her desirous intent to "bury" Marlon. Continuing on, Palmer indicated that Gentry guided her toward finding a lawyer, and lastly, that Gentry herself instructed Palmer to file the aforementioned EEOC charge against Marlon.
The video and Palmer, in her own words, can be seen below.
According to two separate sources, well versed in the Palmer - Marlon saga, and confirmed by Palmer's own account, by November 23, 2021, 14 days after the deposition was recorded, Marlon's original accuser accepted a small sum from his legal team to drop her claims.
For Palmer her case, which began by exploding onto the front pages of an award winning paper, one that saw her send an email to Marlon on May 9, 2021 in which she declares, in all caps, "Pay ME MY MONEY," and included a promise to see Marlon in court, ended in her scurrying off to Seattle in hopes of escaping the ongoing temptations of Las Vegas.
When Political.tips reached Palmer for comment on Gentry's involvement in the apparent fabrication, and crafting, of a story that fit both of their agendas, Palmer unleashed her thoughts.
In a screed covering both Gentry, and her feelings on the media in general, Palmer wrote, "I thought I could trust her," adding, "I thought she actually cared what I went through, guess I was wrong," she then said for Political.tips to go ahead and write, "whatever the hell you want." Her last line before cutting off communication was to reiterate, "You can put that ON THE RECORD."
Gentry's insertion into a conspiracy, which Palmer contended had unfolded under Gentry's byline, while still murky, is believed by at least three sources to have sprung from her involvement, and friendship, with Dave Marlon's ex-wife, the original accuser, Erin Smith.
Responding to a variety of questions posed to her about the events in this story, Dana Gentry's retort to one asking if her connection to Smith would run afoul of her paper's ethics guidelines was unequivocal. In denying any relationship with Smith, Gentry offered, "I wouldn't know her if I saw her. I believe we met once."
History suggests otherwise.
In addition to Gentry's email interviews with Smith in 2019, a source, with a long history in Nevada politics, and who has known Smith, Gentry, and Marlon for an extended period of time, placed the two women at an invitation only event together more than a decade ago. Unearthed video clips also show Dana Gentry interviewing Dave Marlon in both 2010 and 2012, which covered a time when Marlon and Smith became acquainted and were married.
Grouped together, those events certainly raise questions as to Gentry's answer regarding how close she is to Smith, factor in text messages between them and any doubt is dispelled.
The two women, bantering back and forth during some of their 2021 interactions, gossiped about Dave Marlon's rumored sexual partners and health history, along with a more devious discussion centered on how to make the public and legal charges playing out against him stick.
Another question asked of Gentry in our request for clarification was if the allegation of Hugh Jackson's "killing" of her reporting was true?
Gentry offered a strong reply, "I didn't allege anything. I stated a fact."
Gentry has a history with Jackson's paper of not disclosing her ties to stories that are against not just the Current's norms but that of the Society of Professional Journalists.
In a 2019 story Gentry wrote about the bankruptcy of Aspen Financial, she failed to disclose that she worked for attorney Dennis Prince, as an investigator, on behalf of investor Donna Ruthe, in the same case. Having already published a book about the company, and its founder Jeff Guinn, and by including her professional ties to Prince, Ruthie, and Guinn in previous coverage on the subjects, Gentry's protestation that it was a simple oversight seems plausible.
More troubling to her journalistic credibility is Dana Gentry's relationship with the SEIU 1107.
The Service Employees International Union is a powerful entity in Nevada politics, and one that Gentry has had a bitter history with. Hired by them in 2016 as their Communication's Director, she was unceremoniously terminated just over a year later but not before lodging a harassment complaint of her own on August 21 of that year. Gentry's time with them eventually resulted in litigation, and included the rejection of a $30,000 settlement offer by her on the way to trial. Winding its way through the court system, by the time it reached the Nevada Supreme Court in 2021, she found herself a defendant in the matter.
In addition to writing about the SEIU during that time, and doing so in an article where she lays out SEIU contracts and employment law, Gentry failed to mention in that, or any story, her history of harassment allegations and failed financial settlements, a topic clearly pertinent to her coverage of Rachel Palmer and Dave Marlon.
Political.tips asked Gentry about this part of her own biography, writing, "According to court documents, you were involved in filing a harassment claim against the SEIU when you worked there. Did this affect your reporting of the Palmer story?"
In her reply to that query, Gentry answered a question that was never asked and, with her curious response, accused Political.tips of having the wrong information. "Your facts are wrong. I've never sued anyone for harassment," Gentry replied.
Although the question was never posited, Political.tips acknowledges that Dana Gentry did not sue the SEIU for workplace harassment; that grievance was made known in a formal complaint she filed against her then employer. Her actual lawsuit against the SEIU alleged the following: breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional interference with contractual relations, wrongful termination, tortious discharge, and negligence.
Although having already answered the questions posed to her on record, and in doing so flatly denying Palmer's version of events, a crusading, seemingly vengeful, Gentry attempted to strike back at the author of this piece in multiple ways prior to its publication.
Among her efforts was Gentry's doxxing of the author on Twitter which earned her a rebuke from the social media platform and then raising the possibility that the coming exploration of her professional life was a form of, "contractual interference," for which she promised to, "take action."
Nevada Current Editors Hugh Jackson, April Corbin, and Sean Scully did not respond to a request for comment.

Il Gran Premio d'Argentina 1998 fu il terzo appuntamento della stagione di Formula 1 1998.
Disputatosi il 12 aprile sul Circuito di Buenos Aires, ha visto la vittoria di Michael Schumacher su Ferrari, seguito da Mika Häkkinen e da Eddie Irvine. Il tedesco è stato l'ultimo a vincere questa prova del mondiale di Formula 1, visto che dal 1999 essa non sarà più in calendario.

Vigilia
McLaren e Mercedes annunciano il rinnovo del loro accordo fino a tutto il 2002.

Qualifiche

Resoconto

Terza pole su tre gare per la Mclaren: questa volta il più veloce è David Coulthard, ma a sorpresa a fianco dello scozzese in prima fila c'è Michael Schumacher, che grazie alle nuove gomme anteriori più larghe della Goodyear, stacca un tempo di soli 4 decimi più alto di quello del pilota della Mclaren, ma soprattutto si mette alle spalle Häkkinen. Le nuove gomme favoriscono anche Irvine, che è quarto e precede Ralf Schumacher, Frentzen, Villeneuve e Wurz.

Gara

Resoconto

Quando si spengono i semafori Coulthard e Häkkinen sorprendono la Ferrari di Schumacher, ma il tedesco stavolta non demorde, attacca Häkkinen e lo ripassa alla variante. Dietro i tre transitano Irvine, Frentzen, Villeneuve, Alesi, Wurz, Hill e Fisichella; parte malissimo Ralf Schumacher, che da quinto passa al 15º posto. Nei primi giri Frentzen viene prima infilato dal compagno di team Villeneuve e poi da Alesi. Nel frattempo, Michael Schumacher dopo aver superato Hakkinen, tallona Coulthard: al 5º giro lo scozzese sbaglia l'entrata in curva ed il ferrarista si getta nel varco lasciato libero dal rivale. Coulthard chiude però la traiettoria e i due si agganciano; ha la peggio il pilota McLaren, che va in testacoda e riparte sesto.

Al 12º giro la Ferrari, che ha impostato la gara su due soste, stacca la Mclaren di Häkkinen di 12 secondi; seguono Irvine, Villeneuve, Alesi, Coulthard e Frentzen. Cominciano i ritiri; le prime due vetture costrette all'abbandono sono le Arrows di Diniz e Salo, che si fermano al 13º e 18º giro insieme alla Stewart di Magnussen.

Al 19º passaggio Ralf Schumacher va in testacoda; il pilota tedesco rientra ai box per controllare la vettura ma la squadra non scopre niente e lo rimanda in pista. Tre giri più tardi, sulla sua monoposto cede una sospensione e il tedesco finirà nuovamente e definitivamente fuori corsa. Alesi è il primo a rifornire, tutti si fermano meno le McLaren e le Benetton che optano per una sola sosta. Dopo il pit stop, Michael Schumacher è a soli 10" da Häkkinen e precede Villeneuve, Coulthard, Irvine, Frentzen e il duo Benetton Wurz e Fisichella.

Al 35º giro Tuero si ferma inatteso al box Minardi; la sua sosta dura addirittura 41 secondi. Quattro giri dopo, caos anche al box Williams, con Frentzen che prima spegne il motore e poi oltrepassa il limite di velocità nella pit lane, subendo così uno stop & go che lo fa uscire definitivamente dalle parti alte della classifica. Al 42º giro Häkkinen torna ai box per l'unica sosta, il finlandese rientra a 9" da Schumacher; seguono Irvine, Alesi, Wurz, Villeneuve e Coulthard. Al 47º giro Hill tampona Herbert, rompendo il musetto della Jordan e forando la gomma posteriore della Sauber. Hill riesce a raggiungere i box mentre per Herbert è il ritiro.

In testa alla corsa, Schumacher gira costantemente più veloce di Häkkinen; il suo ritmo fa sì che dopo la seconda sosta la sua Ferrari riparta davanti alla McLaren. Coulthard intanto infila Villeneuve all'entrata della chicane, ma il canadese non molla e cerca di risuperarlo: i due vengono a contatto, ne fa le spese Villeneuve che si ritira. Altro duello per il terzo posto fra Irvine e Wurz; l'austriaco prova una prima volta a superare il rivale al 60º giro, i due si toccano ma proseguono. Due giri dopo il pilota della Benetton riesce a conquistare la terza piazza. Comincia tuttavia a piovere; Wurz, per evitare Takagi in testacoda è costretto ad uscire di pista; riesce a rientrare, ma Irvine è già passato. La pioggia finale fa diventare la pista scivolosa, ne fa le spese l'idolo di casa Tuero che esce rovinosamente di pista nel corso del 66º giro. Brivido finale anche per il leader Schumacher, che arriva lungo nella ghiaia ma controlla la vettura e rientra in pista.

Schumacher coglie la sua ventottesima vittoria, la prima stagionale, davanti ad Häkkinen che rafforza la sua leadership in classifica. Primo podio stagionale anche per Irvine, quarto Wurz autore del giro più veloce in gara, quinto l'ottimo Alesi e sesto Coulthard che chiude i piloti a punti. La Ferrari rinasce grazie anche alle gomme Goodyear, e si avvicina in classifica costruttori, portandosi 18 lunghezze dalla McLaren. Häkkinen ha adesso 12 punti di vantaggio su Schumacher e 13 sul compagno Coulthard.

The wood-type for this month is Mikado and was apparently inspired by Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera of the same name. The show opened in London in March of 1885 and in New York later that same year. According to Nicolete Gray in her classic book on ornamented typefaces, the English foundry of Sir Charles Reed and Son introduced a metal type called "Japanese" also in 1885. She characterized this typeface and other oriental based typefaces as superficial in their foreign influence. Nonetheless it appears that it was later copied by several of the American Wood-type companies. The 1906 Hamilton wood-type specimen catalog shows four versions of this design; one by Hamilton and three by acquired companies. The versions by Wells, and Morgans & Wilcox are called Mikado. The Hamilton and Page versions use model numbers 204 and 156 respectively. It is difficult to determine the specific dates when this particular wood-type was introduced, but the earliest wood-type catalog I could find showing Mikado is the 1888 Page catalog. Our sample "WINTER" is a 15 line unstamped type most similar to the Hamilton version. Incidentally, another English foundry, Miller and Richard introduced a metal typeface in 1887, also named Mikado. That typeface is totally different than the one presented here.
