Summary
Williams-Renault doesn't seem to be as far ahead of the pack as they were. Jacques Villeneuve had to work hard to keep the lead when Eddie Irvine put on the pressure on the final laps of the race. Olivier Panis again showed the potential of the Prost-Mugen when he could follow Villeneuve in the beginning of the race.
Ralf Schumacher was just aiming to finish but got an excellent podium with a sometimes failing Peugeot engine on the last laps.
