A number in the first column means classified. DNF, DNQ and DNS stand for retirement, did not qualify and did not start. ‘shared’ marks a car that two drivers shared between them – permitted in the 1950s, and both were classified.

Lap by lap

The running order on every lap. A line that stops is a car that stopped.

Laps led: Michael Schumacher 39, Ralf Schumacher 23, Juan Pablo Montoya 9, David Coulthard 1. Lap data from Jolpica-F1; it exists from 1996 on.

Gap to the leader

How far behind each driver was as every lap ended – the margins the running order hides.

Seconds behind the leader as each lap ends, from the lap times. A line that flattens out together with the others is a safety car; a sudden step down is a pit stop. Gaps beyond 80 seconds run off the bottom edge. This is the gap on the road: time penalties given after the flag are not in it.
