Schumacher VS Coulthard..

26 points each going into this race..

But the story of the day was a MEGA return to form for the flying Finn Mika Hakkinen.

There would be one of the biggest last lap genuine heartbreaks that F1 rarely sees too (I am not talking about the whole Nigel Mansell slowing down too early thing either)

There would also be a first ever podium for one driver and the first for his country, and a first podium since 1998 and the first for his team which had been in F1 since 1999!

Slight driver change too..

Gaston Mazzacane was OUT at Prost.

In came Luciano Burti from Jaguar, and Pedro De La Rosa took his seat.
