Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Schumacher remains the championship leader on 30 points, but Häkkinen’s Spain win has cut the gap to six. Irvine is third on 21. The McLarens completed a 1-2 for the first time this season at Barcelona, moving McLaren closer to Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship.
Previous race
At Barcelona, both McLarens got away cleanly while the Ferraris were caught behind Villeneuve’s BAR in the early laps. The McLarens built a large enough advantage to cruise home — the first time both finished a race in 1999. Schumacher recovered to third at the pit stops. Villeneuve’s race ended with a broken rear wing element and a failed gearbox in the pits.
