Barrichello led throughout the race, winning his first race since the 2000 German Grand Prix and second of his career. His teammate Michael Schumacher ran close behind in the closing laps and was 0.294 seconds adrift in second. The result promoted Barrichello from fifth to fourth in the World Drivers' Championship but was tied with David Coulthard on championship points. Michael Schumacher strengthened his championship lead to 46 championship points over Ralf Schumacher, with Montoya trailing three championship points behind his teammate. Ferrari's one-two finish allowed them to draw further ahead of Williams in the World Constructors' Championship and McLaren maintained third position.
