The six cars left running on Bridgestone tyres started to the sound of fans booing and throwing bottles on to the track. For the record in was the Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello who gave Ferrari its first 1-2 finish of the season, with Jordan’s Tiago Monteiro finishing 3rd but victories do not come any hollower.
