Ralf versus Michael Schumacher

The race was shaped by the brother duel Ralf against Michael Schumacher .

Starting from pole position , Michael Schumacher kept the lead from his younger brother. Both separated from the rest of the field and made the victory among themselves. Ralf Schumacher put a lot of pressure on Michael for several laps. He was a lot more competitive on the straights in particular, but didn't get past despite several attempts. When Michael Schumacher was the first of the two to turn into the pits for his only pit stop, Ralf immediately set faster lap times than before. Michael, who came back on the track in second position, was unable to make up for his brother's lead, so that Ralf maintained his lead right through to the finish line after his pit stop and thus clinched his second win of the season.

Mika Häkkinen came third behind the Schumacher brothers . It was Häkkinen's first podium finish of the season. Kimi Räikkönen , Jean Alesi and Pedro de la Rosa completed the points. Only nine drivers saw the checkered flag, eleven were classified.
