Schumacher, Ralf		4 pts	Spin in FFP1 Ralf Schumacher was the first driver to spin in the slightly damp conditions of Friday’s first practice session. He spun off the track and across the damp grass but was able to recover, eventually finishing fifth in the session, despite another spin.
Schumacher, Ralf		1 pts	Crash in FFP1 In the closing moments of Friday’s first practice session Ralf Schumacher spun and lightly touched the wall, knocking the rear wing of his Williams. "We have done a lot of work today. As usual on a Friday we were a bit conservative and concentrated on race set-up instead of trying to get a good time in," Ralf explained. "We think we have also made our tyre choice. The track was very slippery, therefore several drivers spun. In the first hour, when the track was still a bit damp in some places, I went off and slid backwards taking off my rear wing in the process."
Schumacher, Ralf		4 pts	Off the track in SFP2 Ralf Schumacher narrowly missed the tyre wall after going off the track in Saturday’s second free practice session.
Schumacher, Ralf		1 pts	Hitting Montoya on lap 2 On the second lap of the race Juan-Pablo Montoya tried to pass Ralf Schumacher under braking around the outside of the first corner. As the two Williams drivers turned in Montoya was ahead but Ralf Spun his car, pushing Montoya on to the grass and knocking his own rear-wing off. Montoya rejoined the race in seventh place and Ralf pitted to have a new rear-wing fitted. Williams technical director, Patrick Head was furious with his drivers and promised he would have stern words with his two drivers. Head said: "I’m not into apportioning blame between the two of them. We’ve had some fantastic drivers in the past but they just haven’t driven into each other. It’s absolutely ridiculous. For the amount of effort that goes into this, to have that happen is completely unacceptable. We’ll talk about it afterwards and try to sort out how it doesn’t happen again." The crash probably prevented Williams securing third place in the race. Montoya was closing rapidly on McLaren driver David Coulthard in the closing laps but ran out of time to catch him.
