Pre-Race Report
Championship standings
Schumacher is already the Drivers’ World Champion and Ferrari the Constructors’ champions. Schumacher leads Barrichello by 40 points and Button by 63.
Previous race
Räikkönen won a chaotic Belgian Grand Prix from tenth on the grid — his first and only victory of the season. Schumacher finished second and Barrichello third. The race began with a first-lap pile-up at Raidillon that eliminated Webber, Sato, Bruni, and Pantano; Button suffered a tyre de-lamination at high speed and crashed into Baumgartner; Klien scored his first championship points.
Milestones
This race is Ferrari’s 700th World Championship start as a constructor.
Entrants
