His victory and the third-place finish by teammate Rubens Barrichello gave the Italian team its first double since Jody Scheckter was at the wheel a generation ago. Schumacher, Barrichello and, amazingly, even the normally stoic Scot, David Coulthard, the second place finisher from rival McLaren, donned Ferrari-red fright wigs to celebrate. Schumacher also has his sights set on a fourth world title and a shot at Alain Prost s record for career victories, 51. We will have a good car and a good driver, from my side, Schumacher said. Then there are possibilities.
Statistics are a second priority.
McLaren was second with 152. Said Michael, We son the constructors championship after all, not just by taking three points but by winning and being third. That is exactly the result the team deserves, in my view. Schumacher held off Coulthard by less than a second over the final 10 laps. Barrichello was 18 seconds back.
