Previous race
Schumacher won from pole at Hockenheim — his eleventh victory of the season — with Button second and Alonso third. Räikkönen’s rear wing collapsed at high speed as he entered the first corner on lap thirteen, spinning him into the barrier; he escaped unhurt but the retirement was his seventh of the season. Barrichello crashed into the back of Coulthard on the opening lap and dropped to the back of the field. Pizzonia finished seventh to score two points on his Williams debut.
Between-race developments
Toyota have dropped Cristiano da Matta following a run of poor results relative to teammate Panis. Test driver Ricardo Zonta takes the race seat from this round. Ryan Briscoe assumes Zonta’s former test role.
