The victory was Barrichello's second in a row and the ninth of his Formula
One career, guaranteeing him second place in the drivers' standings behind
Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher, who concluded a disastrous weekend with a
12th-place finish.
Jenson Button of BAR-Honda took second in the race to seal a third-place
finish for the season.
Schumacher started behind the pack in the pitlane after opting to change his
engine and top up with gas. But his run was marred by a spinout and later a
blown tire that forced him to pit.
