Belgian Grand Prix 2000 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Mika Häkkinen delivered one of the greatest overtaking moves in Formula 1 history to win the Belgian Grand Prix, passing Michael Schumacher and a backmarker simultaneously at over 200 mph through the legendary Eau Rouge corner. The daring three-wide maneuver came after an intense battle between the two championship protagonists, with Häkkinen using the slipstream of Ricardo Zonta's BAR to execute the breathtaking pass on lap 41. The move instantly became part of F1 folklore and demonstrated Häkkinen's exceptional racecraft and bravery.

Schumacher had to settle for second place after defending brilliantly throughout the race, while Ralf Schumacher completed the podium for Williams-BMW. The victory at Spa was crucial for Häkkinen's championship hopes, giving him momentum heading into the final races and proving he had the speed and nerve to match Michael Schumacher in wheel-to-wheel combat. The Finnish driver's masterful overtake at Eau Rouge showcased why he was a double World Champion and reminded everyone that the 2000 title fight was far from decided, with the championship lead swinging back toward McLaren with just four races remaining.
