Schumacher, Michael (Ferrari) Spin out of session / race 4 pts Schumacher got his qualifying effort off to a poor start with a massive spin on his first run. He recovered his car to the pits and was able to use it subsequently.

 
Schumacher, Ralf (Jordan) Spin out of session / race 4 pts Schumacher Jnr survived a high-speed spin in qualifying at the corner where his brother had spun earlier in the session. “It was frustrating to have spun on the last run but in order to make up places you have to take risks,” preached the young German.

 
Williams Pit lane blunder 5 pts Villeneuve was planning to make just one refuelling stop in the race. He took this on lap thirty one but due to a problem with the refuelling rig he was short filled and had to pit again on lap forty five, dropping him from sixth to eleventh. Nice pitwork by Williams!
