Race Summary
Michael Schumacher bounced back from his Monaco disappointment with a commanding victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, leading home a Ferrari one-two finish at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The German driver controlled the race from the front, managing the high-speed Montreal track perfectly and demonstrating why Ferrari had built such a formidable championship challenge. Rubens Barrichello followed him across the line in second, with the red cars proving unbeatable on the power-sensitive circuit.
Giancarlo Fisichella continued his strong season with another podium finish for Benetton, capitalizing on McLaren's struggles to claim third place. Both Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard endured frustrating afternoons, with mechanical gremlins and reliability issues preventing them from challenging the dominant Ferraris. Schumacher's victory re-established his championship credentials after the Monaco setback, extending his points lead and demonstrating Ferrari's superior reliability. The one-two finish in Montreal signaled that Ferrari had rediscovered their early-season form at precisely the right moment in the championship battle.
