So, with the drivers championship secured for Schumacher & Ferrari, The Constructors was still up for grabs!

Which way would the final championship swing? Well the winner would become the first ever constructor to win 10 championships.

This would also be the very last starts in F1 for both Pedro Diniz & Johnny Herbert.

Johnny had had enough of fighting for scraps, and Pedro (After an argument with the team mid season) could not find a race seat with Sauber or Prost, so decided to chuck in 10 Million bucks and get a management position with the Prost team for 2001.

So there we have it, another exciting season finished with Ferrari on top again!

Formula One is BACK in America for the first time since 1991 and the stakes couldn't have been higher.

The atmosphere was incredible, the tension was palpable.

Most drivers were ok with the circuit, with some drivers saying the first three hairpins were just too slow, but the rest of the lap was great.

This was Alex Wurzs 50th race start.

The 3rd place driver of the race, his team would not get another podium until 2003!

It would also be Ricardo Zontas last ever points finish in F1.
