The Year That Was - F1

The Austrian Grand Prix

Michael Schumacher won the Austrian Grand Prix by 3.3 seconds, to register his third straight victory and the 67th in his Formula One career.

Raikkonen was second, while Barrichello, hit hard by a fuel rig problem on a long first pitstop, finished third.

In an eventful race which had two aborted starts, Schumacher led from pole until the first pitstop. The German was lucky to escape a near-nightmare first pitstop at which flames licked his car after a fuel rig jammed.
