Controversy

After the Grand Prix, Schumacher and Coulthard were disqualified as fuel samples taken from their cars were deemed to be illegal by the FIA, and Gerhard Berger was declared the winner. The Benetton and Williams teams protested the decision, and both drivers were reinstated as it could not be proved that the fuel had given them any advantage. However, Benetton and Williams were stripped of their Constructors' Championship points.
