Formula 1: Easy win for Hakkinen

Hakkinen duly took the chequered flag for his first win in 15 races, with Schumacher 33.6 seconds adrift of the Finn, who moves up to fifth in the drivers’ championship.

Although Schumacher was unable to equal Alain Prost’s 51-race victory record, the six points means he now holds a staggering 37-point lead over Coulthard with six races left.
