CLASSIFICATION

NOTES

Fastest Lap: Michael Schumacher 2m 03.766s

This race was red-flagged after a horrendous first-lap collision that involved at least 13 cars under heavy rainy conditions. Four teams actually had both cars involved in the accident, which meant one of the drivers would get the spare car, and the others would be left to sit on the sidelines.

This is also the race where Michael Schumacher (still under heavy rain) ran up the back of backmarking David Coulthard, after which Schumacher approached the McLaren garage threateningly but was subsequently turned away.

At the end of the weekend there were 23 wrecked cars!
