The championship was hotting up now!

After 2 consecutive first lap incidents for Schumacher, he HAD to avoid anything and finish well.

2 points seperated the German and the 2 mclarens so this was an extremely decisive race!

Barrichello was only 10 points behind after his famous Germany win, so all to play for!

(Witha Ferrari podium, they would be the first constructor to reach 450 podiums)
