Note:
Apres Race:

Before the race Jacques Villeneuve had been disqualified due to ignoring
a yellow flag in the final Free Practice session the day before.
After an appeal by the Williams team he was allowed to race pending an FIA hearing. 
In the race he finished in 5th place 39s behind the winner. He lead the race for 8 laps.
A few days later Williams retracted their appeal and Villeneuve's result was disallowed.
