run

During the warm-up lap, a fan threw a smoke bomb on the track in the last corner, but a marshal can remove it before the start of the race.

After the start of the race, Häkkinen was able to successfully maintain the lead, behind that Irvine tried unsuccessfully to pass Coulthard on the outside in turn one. Frentzen lost one position to Barrichello at the start. In the next bend Coulthard tried to pass Häkkinen inside, but Häkkinen turned in earlier and Coulthard turned the Finn around. The rest of the field had to slow down unexpectedly, so Barrichello was able to take second place and Salo drove into Herbert's rear. Both were able to continue, but had to later due to a front wing defect (Salo) and a broken off rear wing (Herbert). Herbert will only be able to intervene in the race again on lap five. Barrichello had the momentum on his side and started to overtake before turn three, but slipped past the apex and now had to fend off Irvine.

Häkkinen started to catch up from behind and followed Alesi for several laps, but Alesi was always able to avoid the overtaking as the Frenchman was able to regularly overtake the driver in front of him. Alesi was able to overtake Zonta, Fisichella and Villeneuve, among others, but Häkkinen was also able to overtake steadily. On lap 24 Diniz, who is driving a very good race in fifth, pits for his first stop. Its stop time is 9.9 seconds. On the following lap his team-mate Alesi comes into the pit lane in sixth place. His stop is processed better and Alesi only stopped for 8.1 seconds. Runner-up Barrichello came into the pits on lap 38, but a long stop of 12.5 seconds threw the Brazilian back behind Frentzen.

In the duel for the lead, Coulthard has to pit first on lap 40, his stopping time is 10.5 seconds. At the exit, Coulthard was overtaken by his teammate Häkkinen, who in turn went to the pits on the following lap and came back on the track after 9.6 seconds. On lap 44, the leader Irvine, who had consistently set the fastest personal laps in the previous laps, was the last of the top drivers to enter the pit lane. A perfect stop with 9.6 seconds brings Irvine back on the track ahead of Coulthard. With better Ferrari tactics, Eddie Irvine won the race ahead of David Coulthard and Mika Häkkinen. Frentzen took fourth place, the Austrian Alexander Wurz scored two points in his home race with fifth place and Pedro Diniz, who drove very well that day, took the last remaining point. The trophy for the winning constructor Ferrari took Ross Brawn contrary.
