Schumacher takes the victory by 40 seconds over Montoya and Villeneuve.
No points for Hakkinen as everyone up to Raikkonen had passed the slow
Ferrari.
---
Hakkinen is now just coasting on his final lap ... it's a blown engine!
---
Hakkinen is now just two laps away from the chequered flag, with Schumacher
some 30 seconds back.
---
On lap 60, Coulthard passes Heidfeld to claim the final points-paying
position.
---
Schumacher now appears to have a serious problem, as he is losing more than
2 seconds a lap to the leading McLaren.
---
Hakkinen laps Trulli on lap 55, leaving only four drivers on the lead lap.
His lead over Schumacher is now over 7 seconds.
---
Barrichello retires, so it is now Hakkinen, Schumacher and Montoya at the
front, followed by Villeneuve, Trulli and Nick Heidfeld.
---
Hakkinen pits with a 26-second lead ... is it enough? It is, as the
Finn pulls out of the pits just ahead of the Ferrari!
---
Barrichello tours through a gravel trap: is there a suspension problem?
He pits, but the team only changes tires.
---
Identical 9.3 second stops for both Ferraris, as they take on fuel and
brand-new rubber.
---
The second round of stops begins with Schumacher having a four-second lead
over Hakkinen. Barrichello is 20 seconds back, with Montoya further 30
seconds adrift.
---
Panis moves past Kimi Raikkonen, and a few laps later Coulthard follows,
with the Finn falling back quickly. Mechanical problems for the Sauber?
---
Hakkinen exits the pits two seconds behind Schumacher. At the end of
the first round of pit stops it's Schumacher, Hakkinen, Barrichello,
Montoya, Jacques Villeneuve and Jarno Trulli. Coulthard is in 11th, 10
seconds adrift of Olivier Panis.
---
Schumacher counters with a 1:21.151: the new tires appear to make more of a
difference than the weight of the fuel.
---
Hakkinen still on track, setting a new fastest lap of 1:21.641 on a
light fuel load in trying to make up time on Schumacher.
---
Michael Schumacher in the pits at lap 23, a quick trouble-free stop.

both drivers out of the race.

Coulthard has to make an additional pit stop after running into Enrique
Bernoldi at the back of the pack. The Scot is now nearly a minute behind
the leaders.
---
Juan Montoya's start was the most impressive: the Colombian moved from
12th on the grid to 6th position.
---
At the start, it's Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen holding positions,
followed by Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher.
---
David Coulthard stalls his McLaren at the start of the formation lap. He
gets it going with help from the mechanics, but will have to start from the
back of the grid.
