Brazilian Grand Prix 2000 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Michael Schumacher dominated the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, taking his second consecutive victory to extend his early championship lead. The Ferrari driver controlled the race from start to finish, managing his tires and fuel load perfectly on the challenging São Paulo circuit. Behind him, Giancarlo Fisichella delivered a brilliant drive to second place for Benetton, showcasing his racecraft in traffic and tire management to hold off the chasing pack.

Heinz-Harald Frentzen brought his Jordan home in third, capitalizing on retirements and mechanical issues for the McLaren drivers. Both Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard endured frustrating afternoons, with reliability gremlins preventing them from mounting a serious challenge to Schumacher's dominance. The result extended Schumacher's championship lead to 16 points after just two rounds, putting Ferrari in a commanding position early in the season. The victory at Interlagos, traditionally a challenging venue for Ferrari, demonstrated the F1-2000's versatility across different circuit types and confirmed that the Scuderia had built a truly complete package for their championship assault.
