Changing weather conditions during the qualifying ensured that Mika Hakkinen and Michael Schumacher would start the race from the second row.

The Finn produced a marvellous start and took the lead at the end of the first corner. The first part of the race featured the German chasing down Hakkinen but failed and ran wide once.

The German's running wide for the second time cost him, as he lost the front wing in the incident. Schumacher's long pit-stop as a result of the accident ensured that he would rejoin the race almost a lap behind Hakkinen.

Schumacher never gave up and continued his charge to the top of the grid. However, he fell short of his pursuit and finished the race in the third place, keeping him only eight points behind the Finn in the drivers' championship.
