The 2000 FIA Formula One World Championship spanned 17 races from 12 March to 22 October. It became a defining season in modern F1 history when Michael Schumacher ended a 21-year wait for a Ferrari Drivers’ crown, clinching the title with a race to spare, while the Scuderia also successfully defended the Constructors’ Championship. The year also saw the debut of Jenson Button, a teenager at Williams who would later go on to become World Champion in 2009.
Season
For the third consecutive season, the championship boiled down to Ferrari versus McLaren. Schumacher launched the year in dominant fashion with three straight victories as McLaren faltered with reliability. But momentum swung mid-season: Schumacher retired from three consecutive races, opening the door for Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard to close in. Häkkinen, the reigning double champion, hit form with back-to-back wins that left him six points clear of Schumacher—threatening to extend Ferrari’s title drought since Schumacher’s arrival in 1996.
The response was emphatic. Schumacher reeled off four consecutive wins to close the campaign, each from pole position, sealing the title at Suzuka on 8 October in a head-to-head showdown with Häkkinen. Their duel was decided in the pits, with Schumacher emerging ahead after the final stop and controlling the race to secure his third world title—and the first step in Ferrari’s era-defining dynasty.
Beyond the front-running drama, 2000 also set a unique record: just 23 drivers started a Grand Prix all year, the fewest in modern F1 history at the time. The only change came when Luciano Burti substituted for an unwell Eddie Irvine at Austria. At the back of the grid, Peugeot bowed out of F1 after seven fruitless years as an engine supplier, ending their partnership with Prost after a pointless season. Their engine program lived on briefly under the Asiatech banner in 2001 and 2002.

Team Changes
Ford’s purchase of Stewart Grand Prix led to the team’s rebrand as Jaguar Racing, debuting the R1. The engines were rebadged as Cosworths, while Minardi’s Ford V10s from 1998 were renamed Fondmetal in recognition of investor Gabriele Rumi. Minardi also unveiled a striking new livery, switching from blue and silver to fluorescent yellow. For the first time since the legendary Cosworth DFV appeared in 1967, the Ford name disappeared from the grid—though it would briefly return in 2003 and 2004.
Williams began its long-awaited partnership with BMW, replacing the Supertec engines used the year before. The deal, originally signed in 1998, marked BMW’s return to Formula One after more than a decade away. BAR also ended its Supertec supply, striking a new works deal with Honda, who returned as an engine manufacturer for the first time since their dominant McLaren era ended in 1992. Meanwhile, Arrows switched to Supertec power for 2000 following the departure of engine designer Brian Hart.
Driver Changes
Ferrari signed Rubens Barrichello from Stewart after his breakout 1999 season, replacing Eddie Irvine, who moved across to the new Jaguar team. It was effectively a straight swap between the two squads.
The 1996 World Champion, Damon Hill, retired at the end of 1999, freeing up a seat at Jordan. Jarno Trulli moved over from Prost to replace him, while Prost reshuffled with Jean Alesi (from Sauber) and Nick Heidfeld, the reigning Formula 3000 champion and former McLaren tester. Prost’s Olivier Panis stepped back into a test role at McLaren. Mika Salo returned to a full-time drive at Sauber after serving as a substitute for both Ricardo Zonta and Michael Schumacher in 1999.
At Williams, Jenson Button made his Formula One debut after beating Bruno Junqueira in a “shootout” test, replacing Alex Zanardi. Zanardi left F1 at the end of 1999 but returned to CART in 2001.
Other moves included Jos Verstappen returning to F1 with Arrows, replacing Toranosuke Takagi, who left for Formula Nippon and went on to win the 2000 title. Gastón Mazzacane graduated from Minardi’s test driver role into a race seat, while Luca Badoer shifted full-time into testing duties with Ferrari. At Prost, Stéphane Sarrazin became test driver after a one-off start with Minardi in 1999.
Mid-Season Change
Jaguar’s Luciano Burti made his Formula One race debut at the 2000 Austrian Grand Prix, stepping in for Eddie Irvine, who was sidelined by illness.
2000 Formula 1 Race Calendar
The United States Grand Prix returned to the calendar in 2000 after a nine-year absence, with Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosting Formula One for the first time.
That year also saw controversy around the scheduling of the British Grand Prix. Traditionally held in mid-summer, the race at Silverstone was moved to 23 April, despite Bernie Ecclestone’s attempt to slot the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours into the same weekend.
Meanwhile, the European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring shifted from its usual late-season slot to 21 May, becoming the sixth round of the year. The circuit had previously hosted autumn races for three straight seasons, under the “Luxembourg Grand Prix” title in 1997 and 1998.

2000 Formula 1 Race Reports
Round 1: Australian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 12 March 2000
Circuit: Albert Park Circuit
Laps: 58 laps, 307.574 km
Circuit Length: 5.303 km
Michael Schumacher won the season’s first race, the 2000 Australian Grand Prix, driving for Ferrari, with teammate Rubens Barrichello finishing second. Schumacher praised the car’s speed and its championship potential.
The win began his streak of five consecutive titles. Ralf Schumacher, his brother, secured third place for BMW Williams while celebrating his 50th Grand Prix. The race also saw the debut of Jenson Button for Williams, Nick Heidfeld for Prost, and Gaston Mazzacane for Minardi. While Button and Mazzacane didn’t finish, Heidfeld crossed the line ninth, two laps down. This race was also the debut for Jaguar, previously known as the Stewart Grand Prix team.
Round 2: Brazilian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 26 March 2000
Circuit: Autódromo José Carlos Pace
Laps: 71
Circuit length: 4.309 km
Brazil hosted the championship’s second round with the 2000 Brazilian Grand Prix, where post-race disqualifications affected five of the top six finishers due to issues with the wooden skid blocks on their cars.
After appeals, all but the McLaren of David Coulthard were reinstated; his car’s wing-end plates were found to be 7mm too low. On the race’s eve, Jean Alesi narrowly avoided a disaster when he collided with a fallen advertising hoarding at 180mph. Sauber withdrew both cars due to rear-wing failures caused by the newly relaid yet uneven track.
Bernie Ecclestone faced criticism for not condemning the track conditions, unlike his criticisms of Silverstone and Malaysia, likely because he owned the commercial rights to the Interlagos event.
The Ferrari of Michael Schumacher, won the 71-lap race after starting third. Benetton’s Giancarlo Fisichella finished second, and Jordan’s Heinz-Harald Frentzen was third.
Round 3: San Marino Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 9 April 2000
Circuit: Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari
Laps: 62
Circuit length: 4.933 km
Michael Schumacher continued his perfect start to the season with a hard-fought victory at the 2000 San Marino Grand Prix, making it three wins from three races. His triumph came after a well-executed pit-stop strategy by Ferrari, allowing him to slip past defending world champion Mika Hakkinen, who had started from pole.
Schumacher’s race nearly unravelled at the start when his rear tyres spun too much, engulfing his car in smoke as he lurched across the track. Reflecting on the moment, he admitted, “I made a very bad start with massive wheelspin but I managed to keep my second position.” Despite the shaky launch, he secured another crucial victory in his championship-winning campaign. McLaren’s Mika Hakkinen finished second, while teammate David Coulthard finished third.
Round 4: British Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 23 April 2000
Circuit: Silverstone Circuit
Laps: 60
Circuit length: 5.140 km
David Coulthard claimed victory at an earlier-than-usual and largely uneventful 2000 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, but the race was overshadowed by chaos off the track due to severe weather conditions. Heavy rain turned car parks into mud pits, stranding spectators in 15-mile traffic queues for up to six hours, while many others—despite holding valid tickets—were unable to even reach the circuit. Fog also grounded helicopters, meaning even the VIPs were forced to endure the miserable conditions.
ITV’s Jim Rosenthal set the tone in his opening broadcast, describing Silverstone as “saturated, chilly, and totally uninviting.” Meanwhile, Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley distanced themselves from the debacle, claiming the decision to move the race from its traditional July slot was due to “internal politics.” Mosley insisted, “We try to control everything, but no one can do anything about the weather,” while Ecclestone drew little sympathy from fans with his remark: “I’ve been at Silverstone many times in July when it has rained.”
On the track, Mika Hakkinen finished second, securing McLaren its first 1-2 of the season, while Michael Schumacher took third place for Ferrari, notching his 75th career podium.
Round 5: Spanish Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 7 May 2000
Circuit: Circuit de Catalunya
Laps: 65
Circuit length: 4.730 km
At the 2000 Spanish Grand Prix, Mika Hakkinen clinched the win, yet the spotlight was on David Coulthard, who secured second place despite recently suffering from cracked ribs due to a plane crash that killed two people. An emotional Coulthard, enduring pain, captured attention, especially during the post-race activities. McLaren‘s Ron Dennis pointed out Coulthard’s resilience and pain management throughout the race, which was evident even when he lost time due to a pit-stop error.
Round 6: European Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 21 May 2000
Circuit: Nürburgring
Laps: 67
Circuit length: 4.556 km
Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher won a wet 2000 European Grand Prix ahead of Mika Hakkinen in the McLaren, following a race-long battle between the two title contenders. Although Hakkinen took the lead into the first corner after the pair banged wheels at the start, the arrival of rain saw Hakkinen struggling to control his car. Schumacher, on the other hand, remained composed and overtook Hakkinen at the final chicane. Making better use of slick tyres on a slippery surface, Schumacher built a lead. When the entire field eventually pitted for wet tyres, Schumacher maintained his first place and extended his gap over Hakkinen. Despite Hakkinen getting within five seconds at one point, Schumacher held on to secure his first Ferrari victory in Germany. Hakkinen finished second, and his McLaren teammate David Coulthard finished third.
Round 7: Monaco Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 4 June 2000
Circuit: Circuit de Monaco
Laps: 78
Circuit length: 3.370 km
McLaren driver David Coulthard achieved his first career win at Monte Carlo with the 2000 Monaco Grand Prix after Michael Schumacher retired with a cracked exhaust. Coulthard had qualified third and ran in that position for much of the race. He moved up to second when Jarno Trulli retired with gearbox issues but was still trailing Schumacher by 40 seconds before the Ferrari retired.
Coulthard was delighted with the result, saying, “I have always said that there are a few Grands Prix which are very special to me, and Monaco is definitely one of them. The track is probably the most technically challenging, and I’m very happy both for the team and myself. I have felt confident all weekend and the car was very good throughout the race.”
Rubens Barrichello finished second for the Ferrari team, with Benetton‘s Giancarlo Fisichella third.
Round 8: Canadian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 18 June 2000
Circuit: Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve
Laps: 69
Circuit length: 4.421 km
Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello secured a 1-2 finish for Ferrari at the 2000 Canadian Grand Prix. David Coulthard experienced a setback, finishing seventh due to a stop-go penalty after his McLaren team overran the permitted work time on the grid. In the race’s final stages, Barrichello played a defensive role for Schumacher, who later acknowledged, “He’s a good man … one day I will pay him back.” The Benetton of Giancarlo Fisichella took third.
The win took Schumacher’s win tally to 40 races. He would retire on 91 race wins in 2012.
Round 9: French Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 2 July 2000
Circuit: Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
Laps: 72
Circuit length: 4.251 km
David Coulthard dominated the 2000 French Grand Prix, leading his teammate Mika Hakkinen to secure a McLaren 1-2 finish. Michael Schumacher started from pole, with Coulthard in second. However, Coulthard’s battle on passing Schumacher allowed Rubens Barrichello to slip into second, although Coulthard regained the position on lap 22. Coulthard then successfully challenged Schumacher despite a wheel-banging move. Schumacher’s race ended in disappointment with an engine failure, while Hakkinen moved past Barrichello for second after a disastrous pit stop for the Brazilian. Jacques Villeneuve finished fourth for BAR, ahead of Ralf Schumacher in the Williams.
Round 10: Austrian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 16 July 2000
Circuit: A1 Ring
Laps: 71
Circuit length: 4.326 km
The 2000 Austrian Grand Prix became a bedrock for controversy for the McLaren team later docked ten points because an FIA seal was missing from Hakkinen’s car. Despite this, Mika Hakkinen won the race, but Pedro Diniz in the Sauber caused a six-car collision on the first lap, forcing the retirements of the Championship leader, Michael Schumacher, Giancarlo Fisichella, and Jarno Trulli.
Hakkinen’s teammate David Coulthard finished second, a team 1-2, and Ferrari’s Rubens Barrichello third.
Round 11: German Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 30 July 2000
Circuit: Hockenheimring
Laps: 45
Circuit length: 6.825 km (4.240 miles)
A disgruntled Mercedes employee endangered his own life and the lives of the drivers at the 2000 German Grand Prix by cutting through the track fence and running onto the track with a message about the German car manufacturer. He managed to cross the track before marshals apprehended him, causing a major disruption. Mika Hakkinen had been poised to secure a McLaren 1-2 finish, but the deployment of the safety car shuffled the grid. This allowed Rubens Barrichello to claim his first Formula One victory, starting from 18th on the grid. It was the first win for a Brazilian driver since Ayrton Senna‘s last victory at the 1993 Australian Grand Prix.
The race result tied Häkkinen and David Coulthard for second place in the 2000 Drivers’ Championship, while Schumacher’s lead in the championship was reduced to just two points. Barrichello was eight points behind the McLaren drivers. With six races left in the season, McLaren trailed Ferrari by four points and held a 76-point advantage over Williams in the 2000 Constructors’ Championship. The track intruder, identified as 47-year-old Frenchman Robert Sehli, eventually apologised and was fined by the track administration.
Round 12: Hungarian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 13 August 2000
Circuit: Hungaroring
Laps: 77
Circuit length: 3.975 km (2.470 miles)
The 2000 Hungarian Grand Prix (officially the XVI Marlboro Magyar Nagydíj) took place on 13 August 2000 at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, Pest, Hungary, with 120,000 spectators in attendance. It was the 12th round of the 2000 Formula One World Championship and the 18th Hungarian Grand Prix overall. Mika Häkkinen, driving for McLaren-Mercedes, claimed victory in the 77-lap race after starting from third on the grid. Pole-sitter Michael Schumacher of Ferrari finished second, while Häkkinen’s teammate, David Coulthard, secured third place.
Going into the weekend, Schumacher led the Drivers’ Championship ahead of Häkkinen, while Ferrari held the edge over McLaren in the Constructors’ standings. At the start, Häkkinen passed both Schumacher and Coulthard, seizing control of the race and leading every lap apart from those during the first pit-stop phase. He crossed the finish line eight seconds ahead of Schumacher, who fended off Coulthard to retain second. The victory, Häkkinen’s third of the season and 17th in Formula One, propelled him to the top of the Drivers’ Championship for the first time in 2000, two points clear of Schumacher and six ahead of Coulthard. McLaren also overtook Ferrari in the Constructors’ standings, gaining a narrow one-point lead with five races left in the season.
Round 13: Belgian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 27 August 2000
Circuit: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Laps: 44

It was the 13th race of the 2000 season, and Mika Hakkinen, driving for McLaren, secured victory in the 44-lap race from pole position. Michael Schumacher finished second for Ferrari, and brother Ralf Schumacher took third place for Williams. Post-race, Hakkinen remained in the 2000 Drivers’ Championship lead with 74 points.
Round 14: Italian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 10 September 2000
Circuit: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza
Laps: 53
Circuit length: 5.793 km (3.600 miles)
Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher went head-to-head with McLaren’s Mika Hakkinen at the 2000 Italian Grand Prix, emerging victorious and equalling Ayrton Senna’s record of 41 Grand Prix wins. However, the day was marred by tragedy when trackside marshal Paolo Gislimberti was killed by a detached left rear tyre from the Jordan of Jarno Trulli after an accident involving Trulli and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Ralf Schumacher took third in a Williams.
Round 15: United States Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 24 September 2000
Circuit: Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Laps: 73
Circuit length: 4.192 km (2.604 miles)
Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher won the 2000 United States Grand Prix, the first race in the country in a decade, overcoming a late spin to claim his 42nd career victory. Schumacher’s championship rival, Mika Hakkinen, was forced to retire in the McLaren due to a fire, allowing Schumacher to take an eight-point lead and his teammate Rubens Barrichello to finish second for a Ferrari 1-2 finish. Heinz-Harald Frentzen, driving for Jordan at the time, finished in third.
Before the race, as rain fell, Ferrari’s Jean Todt successfully lobbied officials to move the entire grid back by one row, arguing Schumacher would have faced excessive wheelspin in the original grid position.
Round 16: Japanese Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 8 October 2000
Circuit: Suzuka International Racing Course
Laps: 53
Circuit length: 5.860 km (3.641 miles)
Michael Schumacher took Ferrari’s first Drivers’ Championship in over 20 years and his third title when he beat the McLaren of Mika Hakkinen in a straight fight at the 2000 Japanese Grand Prix. Schumacher started from pole but was beaten into the first corner by Hakkinen and only reclaimed the lead thanks to a Ross Brawn strategy from the Ferrari pit wall. The battle continued to rage until the last lap and as they crossed the line, Hakkinen finished just 1.8 seconds behind Schumacher. “At the start Mika was very quick and there was nothing I could do,” Schumacher said after the race. “We made some adjustments at the first stop and they helped. Then we saw Mika going in for his second stop and I still had two laps to go. That was the crucial time, but I had some traffic and a Benetton had spun and was moving backwards in front of me as I came into the pits. I did not think I had done enough. But as I went down the pit lane, Ross Brawn was saying ‘it’s looking good, it’s looking good’. Then he said ‘it’s looking bloody good!’ It was the most amazing moment of my racing career.
“We have been working for this for five years and three times we got close. This is simply outstanding and special because it is with Ferrari and means much more to me than my other titles. Imagine what is happening in Italy right now. It must be fantastic. We will have to improvise our celebration as I told everyone not to plan anything as I felt it would be unlucky.”
Hakkinen’s teammate David Coulthard completed the podium in third.
Round 17: Malaysian Grand Prix
Race date: Sunday, 22 October 2000
Circuit: Sepang International Circuit
Laps: 56
Circuit length: 5.543 km (3.444 miles)
Michael Schumacher helped win the first of five consecutive Constructors’ Championships for Ferrari by winning at the 2000 Malaysian Grand Prix, his record-equalling ninth win of the season. McLaren driver David Coulthard, who finished second and had challenged Schumacher throughout the year, apologised after the race for their public disputes, praising Schumacher as a great champion. Schumacher’s teammate, Rubens Barrichello, finished third.
Meanwhile, Johnny Herbert’s Formula 1 career ended dramatically when his Jaguar suffered a suspension failure, causing a crash that he walked away from, wryly commenting, “There’s nothing like ending your career with a bang.”
