Race report

At the start in a very hot and humid race, Michael Schumacher was again beaten away by Mika Häkkinen, however later it was proved that Häkkinen had moved before the lights went out.

At the first corner there was problems when Nick Heidfeld, Pedro Diniz and Pedro de la Rosa collided putting all three out on the spot, with debris on the track the safety car was deployed, with Häkkinen out in front.

However soon after the safety car came in, Häkkinen was given a stop and go penalty leaving his team mate David Coulthard out in the lead. Häkkinen would in the end fight back up to 4th place.

Coulthard had to pit earlier than planned due to running off track and collecting dirt in the radiators. This left Michael Schumacher out in front, with Coulthard now second ahead of the flu-ridden Barrichello in third place.

Johnny Herbert's last race ended with him being helped out of the car when his suspension failed, causing him to have a big accident.

Michael Schumacher cruised home first for his 9th win of the season, equalling a record he jointly held with Nigel Mansell (1992)

During the press conference David Coulthard apologised for some of his comments about the German throughout the season.
