Race Summary

Michael Schumacher continued his dominant season with victory at the Belgian Grand Prix, controlling the race at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit. The newly-crowned World Champion demonstrated his class on the challenging Ardennes track, managing changeable weather conditions perfectly to take his ninth win of the season. David Coulthard finished second for McLaren, while Giancarlo Fisichella claimed third for Benetton.

The race at Spa showcased Schumacher's complete mastery of Formula 1, with the German able to dominate even after securing the championship. His ability to maintain focus and performance after clinching the title demonstrated his professionalism and desire for victory. Fisichella's podium was a bright spot for Benetton in what would be their final season before rebranding as Renault. With the championship already decided, the remaining races became a celebration of Ferrari's dominance and Schumacher's brilliance, though Williams and McLaren could still fight for individual race victories and championship positions.
