Notes

  • Fastest Lap: Michael Schumacher 1m 49.758s
  • Last race: Tarso Marques, Luciano Burti
  • The first start was aborted because Heinz-Harald Frentzen stalled on the grid. The formation lap went again without him.
  • The second start saw Heinz-Harald Frentzen start at the back of the grid.
  • At the start of the third formation lap, Ralf Schumacher couldn't leave the grid, due to the pit jack left onto his car. He was forced to start at the back of the grid.
  • This was the last podium finish and points finish for the Benetton team.
  • Jean Alesi was able to hold off Ralf Schumacher and scored his first point for the Jordan team at this race, which was Alesi's final time to score world championship points in a grand prix.
  • Schumacher's win in this race was the 52nd of his career, a number surpassing Alain Prost securing Schumacher as the all-time most successful driver..
  • On lap four, Luciano Burti, while speeding through Blanchimont, made contact with Eddie Irvine's rear wheel, causing his front wing to break off. He lost grip and speared straight into the tyre barrier at over 180mph. Resulting injuries caused him to miss the rest of the season. The race restarted for 36 laps, with the result of the 2nd race counted as the overall results.
  • Kimi Räikkönen, Eddie Irvine, Luciano Burti and Fernando Alonso didn't take part in the restart.
