2000 Spanish Grand Prix
2000 Spanish Grand Prix

The 2000 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the XLII Gran Premio Marlboro de España) was a Formula One motor race held on 7 May 2000 at the Circuit de Catalunya, in Montmeló, Catalonia, Spain in front of approximately 79,000 spectators. It was the fifth round of the 2000 Formula One World Championship and the 42nd Spanish Grand Prix. McLaren driver Mika Häkkinen won the 65-lap race starting from second position. His teammate David Coulthard finished second and Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello was third. Going into the event, Michael Schumacher led the World Drivers' Championship from Häkkinen and Ferrari led McLaren in the World Constructors' Championship. He set the fastest lap in the qualifying session to start on pole position and held off Häkkinen on the first lap. Schumacher maintained the lead until his first pit stop on lap 24 when Ferrari chief mechanic Nigel Stepney was injured by Schumacher's right-rear tyre when Schumacher was mistakenly instructed to leave his box before the stop was completed. This promoted Häkkinen to the race lead which he held until his pit stop two laps later. Michael Schumacher kept the lead for the following 22 laps as he and Häkkinen made their second pit stops together, with Häkkinen emerging in front after a refuelling error slowed Schumacher's pit stop. Häkkinen led the final 22 laps to achieve his first win of the season and the 15th of his career. The race victory promoted Häkkinen to second place in the World Drivers' Championship, fourteen points behind Michael Schumacher. Coulthard's second-place finish saw him fall to third, and Barrichello's third place put him one point ahead of Ralf Schumacher. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren's one-two finish moved them to within seven points of leaders Ferrari. Williams remained in third on 15 points, with 12 races left in the season.
