Notes
- This was Marc Gené's last race to date. From the German Grand Prix to the Italian Grand Prix, he was replaced by Antônio Pizzonia.
- This was the first podium finish of the season for a McLaren driver.
- Jarno Trulli had a dramatic end to his race. He lost control of his Renault through the high-speed Bridge Corner, and hit the tyres on the inside retaining wall. The car then barrel-rolled through the gravel before coming to a rest just after Priory. Trulli was unhurt, although he did say he was "a little crazier, maybe".
- Minardi removed all sponsor logos to mourn the death of the team manager, John Walton who died on 9 July, immediately before the race weekend. However, after the event, the team lost their Dutch title sponsor Wilux, mainly because the logos had been removed without the sponsor's agreement.[4]
Championship standings after the race
- Bold text indicates who still has a theoretical chance of becoming World Champion.
