Rubens Barrichello, driving for Ferrari, was classified +11.415s behind the winner. Ralf Schumacher took the remaining podium position for Williams BMW, with a recorded gap of +20.009s. The race awarded 10, 6 and 4 championship points to the first three drivers.
The wider picture
The other points-scoring places went to Jacques Villeneuve (4th, 3 points), Giancarlo Fisichella (5th, 2 points), Ricardo Zonta (6th, 1 points). These are the published race classifications, rather than qualifying positions: the result table also distinguishes lapped finishers from drivers who did not finish.
