2000 Brazilian Grand Prix
Encyclopedia
The 2000 Brazilian Grand Prix was a Formula One
race held at Interlagos
on March 26, 2000.
on pole position with David Coulthard
second. Michael Schumacher
was third, Rubens Barrichello
was fourth, Giancarlo Fisichella
was fifth and Eddie Irvine
was sixth. The session was stopped three times, on each occasion because an advertising hoarding mounted over the circuit broke off and fell onto the track below. On the third occasion, one of the laminated cardboard hoardings was struck by Jean Alesi's Prost as it fell.
fifth and Fisichella sixth. Soon Schumacher was trying to find a way to get round Häkkinen with Barrichello attacking Coulthard. Schumacher dived on the inside of Häkkinen at the Senna S in the second lap while Barrichello did the same on Coulthard. He made a mistake allowing David to get ahead but he recovered and passed Coulthard by the end of the lap.
It soon became clear that the two Ferraris were on two stop-strategies and Barrichello was soon at Häkkinen's rear, trying to get round. Schumacher pulled away at a second a lap from Häkkinen.
Behind the leaders, Trulli on a two-stopper dived past Irvine for fifth shortly after Barrichello got Häkkinen for second on lap 15. When Schumacher pitted on lap 20, he had a 20 second lead on the McLarens and pitted. He rejoined in third place but that became second when Barrichello pitted two laps later. Meanwhile on lap 21 Irvine crashed but it did not bring the safety car out. Now all attention was on the gap between Häkkinen and Schumacher but it was not closing. It was stabilizing and the case was the same with Coulthard in third and Barrichello in fourth. But in the space of three laps, the race turned upside down as on lap 27, Barrichello in fourth began to trail smoke. Three laps later, Häkkinen came to the pits and it was strange as it was too early for a one-stop and too late for a two-stop. It soon became clear that it was not a scheduled pit stop for Mika, but a stop that signalled his retirement.
After Trulli's pit stop on lap 28, Jos Verstappen
was in third place for seven laps in the Arrows
but he gave it away to Fisichella when he pitted. The two Williams
cars of
Ralf Schumacher
and Jenson Button
with Fisichella and Heinz-Harald Frentzen
were running close and all of them were on one-stop. At the front, Coulthard and Schumacher were maintaining a similar pace but Schumacher was always comfortable. Ralf and Button went to the pits on lap 44 and 45 respectively in the battle for the final point. But Ralf emerged a few meters ahead of Verstappen while Button came a few meters behind him. In the laps that followed, Ralf was able to pull away while Button was stuck behind Jos until he made a beautiful overtaking manoeuvre on lap 57. Trulli made his second stop on lap 56 and joined in fifth. Ralf was comfortable in sixth ahead of Button. Verstappen and Pedro de la Rosa
were eighth and ninth. Meanwhile the pace began to drop off and the order stayed like that till the finish.
On April 6, 2000, the World Motorsport Council handed out a $100,000 fine to the organisers, after being summoned to Paris
due to a safety hoarding falling onto the main straight, narrowly missing Jean Alesi
. It was ruled as "exceptional circumstances".
Source (qualifying times):
* The Sauber cars of Pedro Diniz and Mika Salo were later withdrawn and did not start the race due to rear wing failures which had been afflicting the cars. The team decided it was too unsafe to continue.

Post-race
After the race, word came from the scrutineering bay that all of the top six cars except for Fisichella were disqualified because they had problems with their wooden floors. The teams appealed but while the FIA was scrutineering the cars again, they found out that the front wing endplates on Coulthard's car were 7mm lower than they should have been. Thus, the position of everyone except for Coulthard was reinstated.On April 6, 2000, the World Motorsport Council handed out a $100,000 fine to the organisers, after being summoned to Paris
