Race Summary

The two McLarens made the best start, while Michael Schumacher tried to overtake David Coulthard. The Ferrari driver stayed with the McLarens, but retired on lap 6, when his engine expired. This handed third place to Jacques Villeneuve, being chased by Giancarlo Fisichella. After the first round of pits Villeneuve found himself behind team mate Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Eddie Irvine and Giancarlo Fisichella who would later be out of the race due to a rear wing failure. Villeneuve was then lapped in the next couple of laps by the McLarens, however he managed to finish in fifth place. On lap 36 Mika Häkkinen came into the pits unexpectedly, apparently having misheard a call over the radio (in May 2007, Ron Dennis said that someone had tapped into the team's radio system). He drove straight out, and lost first place to David Coulthard. At the end of the race David Coulthard let Mika Häkkinen past at the last corner. The two had made a pre-race agreement that between the two of them, the driver who led at the first corner would go on to win the race, should he be in the position to do so. David Coulthard and the McLaren team were criticized heavily. "Team orders" continued to be controversial in Formula One and were banned during 2004.
