Michael Schumacher came close to victory but McLaren’s eventual winner Kimi Raikkonen, despite an error in the closing stage of the race, hung on. Schumacher thought that victory was coming his way when Raikkonen ran wide on the last turn before the stretch. ‘‘I was thinking ‘great, it’s going to be my turn now’ but he recovered,’’ said Schumacher.

‘‘Anyway, we are quite happy with our result, and particularly Rubens having an unfortunate qualifying and making his way to the third spot.’’
