Pre-Race

There had been some more changes in the F1 field as Team Lotus now had Mika Salo as Alex Zanardi's team mate in place of Eric Bernard. Johnny Herbert had left Ligier after just one race and was now alongside Michael Schumacher at Benetton, a convenient injury having been dreamed up for Jos Verstappen. Ligier had taken on young Frenchman Franck Lagorce for the last two races. Karl Wendlinger's comeback with Sauber had been postponed and Andrea de Cesaris, not expecting to race, had gone off on holiday somewhere in the Pacific and could not be contacted and so Peter Sauber signed up JJ Lehto. Simtek needed more money and so took on pay-driver Taki Inoue in place of Domenico Schiattarella. Benetton had acquired some additional sponsorship from Bitburger but otherwise things were normal.

Race

1st-Start

It was wet on race day and at the start Schumacher did not get away well and so slithered across the road to block Hill. Frentzen followed the World title challengers into the first corner followed by Herbert, Alesi and Irvine. Frentzen tried to pass Hill on the second lap and went off and the rains then became so bad that a Safety Car was sent out. Before the race was under its control, however, Herbert spun into the pitwall. Katayama and Inoue followed suit. It took seven laps for the rain to ease and for the wreckage to be cleared up and then the race was on again with Hill hounding Schumacher. Berger disappeared with engine trouble and Gianni Morbidelli (Footwork) dropped out with a big crash. Gianni Morbidelli was a Formula One driver from Italy. ... Team Orange Arrows Formula One car at the 2000 United States Grand Prix The Arrows Racing Team team was founded in 1977, by Italian financier Franco Ambrosio (A), Alan Rees (R), Jackie Oliver (O), Dave Wass (W) and Tony Southgate (S) when Rees, Oliver, Wass and Southgate left the Shadow...


As this accident was being cleared up Brundle went off at the same place and crashed into the marshals around Morbidelli's car. One suffered a broken leg. The race was red-flagged and stopped.


2nd-Start

There were only 15 cars left and after discussions with the drivers it was agreed that the race would be restarted behind the Safety Car under corrected time rules, meaning that the gaps between cars that had existed previous to the red flag remained, even though the cars were nose to tail at the restart. The winner would be the driver who completed the full race distance in the least amount of time, regardless of their position on the track. Soon after the restart Schumacher had to pit for fuel and he was given a big load, the team gambling that the race would not go the full distance because of the rain. Hill went ahead until he stopped and then Alesi was briefly the leader until his stop and Damon went into the lead again. Schumacher closed in on him and on lap 36 he went ahead on aggregate if not on the road. Schumacher's time in the second part of the race, added to his time in the first part before the restart, meant that he was technically leading the race, even if he was behind Hill on the road. The track dried and it became clear that the race was not going to be stopped early. That meant Schumacher had to stop again and so he dropped away. He charged back after the stop but this time Hill was able to hold the gap. Hill was 3.3 seconds ahead of Schumacher with Alesi third, Mansell fourth, Irvine fifth and Frentzen sixth.Since Hill had a lead slightly over 7 seconds before the red flag, Hill was declared the winner. This was the last instance of corrected time being used in Formula 1 to declare a race winner.

Although the Grand Prix of São Paulo has taken place since 1936, the Interlagos circuit was not built until 1940, and only acquired international fame when it was redeveloped in the early 70´s, when it became the host circuit for the Brazilian Grand Prix from 1972 to 1980.

Inaugurated two weeks before its first Formula 1 Grand Prix, September 1991, the Catalunya circuit has proved to be one of the best-designed circuits of the recent era; it is well-liked by most drivers and so has retained the privilege of hosting the Spanish Grand Prix ever since.
Mika Salo at AllExperts (687 words)
He was to spend 3 years with the team, scoring points several times, most notably by running the whole of the wet 1997 Monaco Grand Prix without a fuelstop (although he pitted to replace his front wing), the only driver to do this since refuelling was reintroduced in 1994.
However, when Michael Schumacher broke his leg at a crash during the 1999 British Grand Prix Salo was selected as his long-term substitute to partner Eddie Irvine at Ferrari.
In his second race in Ferrari at the 1999 German Grand Prix Salo lead for much of the race and would have scored a Grand prix win but team orders demanded that he give the lead to Irvine, who at the time was fighting for the championship with Mika Häkkinen.
