Pre-race: Rubens Barrichello fails to get away cleanly at the start of the warm-up lap but fires up in time to take his rightful second place on the grid. Local hero Zsolt  Baumgartner stalls and starts from the pit lane.

* Lap 1: On pole position for the eighth time this year, Michael Schumacher makes a clean start to lead Barrichello, the fast-starting Fernando Alonso (up from fifth), Juan Pablo Montoya, Jenson Button and Takuma Sato. On his return to F1, Ricardo Zonta spins at Turn One and drops to 19th. Schumacher opens  up a 1.1s gap to Barrichello by the end of the lap. Sato slips to eighth, behind Jarno Trulli and Kimi Raikkonen.

* Lap 2: Schumacher pulls clear by another 0.5s.

* Lap 3: Schumacher laps in 1m 19.921s – his best of the race so far – and is 2.5s ahead of his team-mate.

* Lap 5: Up from last on the grid, Felipe Massa briefly wrests 16th from Giorgio Pantano at Turn One, but runs wide and loses the initiative.

* Lap 6: Massa finally nails Pantano. Zonta passes Gianmaria Bruni for 18th.

* Lap 7: Schumacher laps in 1m 19.678s and stretches his lead to 4.4s. Pantano runs wide at Turn 11 without losing a place.

* Lap 8: Schumacher ups his pace again – 1m 19.506s.

* Lap 10: Alonso and Giancarlo Fisichella (ninth) pit. Raikkonen drops 12s and slips to 11th.

* Lap 11: Barrichello, Montoya, Button, Trulli and Coulthard pit.

* Lap 12: The leader comes in – as do midfielders Olivier Panis, Massa and Raikkonen. Klien, running 15th, slides wide at Turn Four. Raikkonen trundles along very slowly when he rejoins.

* Lap 13: Schumacher retains his lead, 6.1s clear of Barrichello. Antonio Pizzonia, yet to stop, is third, from Alonso, Mark Webber and Montoya. Raikkonen pits to retire.

* Lap 14: Pizzonia refuels and drops to ninth.

* Lap 16: Webber is the last but one driver to complete his first stint. He rejoins in 11th. Only Baumgartner has yet to come in. The order is as you were at the front, although Raikkonen’s problems have promoted Sato to seventh and Pizzonia is now in the points.

* Lap 17: Baumgartner, one lap down, finally comes in. Elsewhere in the pits, the Ferrari team is working busily on its fuel rig,

* Lap 19: Massa is the first driver to pit twice – for a fresh nose, rather than tactical reasons.
He drops from 14th to 17th.

* Lap 22: The Ferraris are in a league of their own. Third-placed Alonso is more than 20 seconds adrift of Schumacher. Massa, one lap in arrears, peels in to retire.

* Lap 24: Zonta (14th) pits for fuel.

* Lap 25: Webber spins at Turn Nine but doesn’t lose any places. Schumacher laps him, however.

* Lap 27: Schumacher sets a new fastest lap – 1m 19.324s. Barrichello almost trips over 13th-placed Panis while lapping him.

* Lap 28: Sato pits from seventh.

* Lap 29: Schumacher ups the ante again – 1m 19.071s. Better breaks in traffic have increased his advantage to 9.2s. Alonso pits.

* Lap 30: Montoya and Button pit.

* Lap 31: Barrichello and Trulli come in. The Italian loses a place to Sato before rejoining.

* Lap 32: The leader makes his second stop and rejoins with a comfortable lead.

* Lap 33: Pizzonia stops. Zonta pulls off by the side of the track, shortly after his second scheduled stop.

* Lap 34: With the leaders all having made two stops, Schumacher heads Barrichello, Alonso, Montoya, Button, Sato and Pizzonia, who has also vaulted Trulli. Ninth-placed Fisichella is the only other car on the lead lap.

* Lap 36: But not for long: Schumacher laps Fisichella.

* Lap 40: Schumacher leads Barrichello by 12.4s. Alonso, Montoya and Sato are running their own races. Sato has little more than a second in hand over Pizzonia.

* Lap 41: Schumacher – who finished a lapped eighth in last season’s corresponding fixture – laps eighth-placed Trulli.

* Lap 42: Trulli makes his third stop and slips to 10th. Fisichella moves into the points.

* Lap 44: Trulli stops again – this time on the main straight rather than the customary side of the pit wall.

* Lap 47: Sato makes his third scheduled stop. He is still seventh when he rejoins.

* Lap 49: Button pits.

* Lap 50: Barrichello is the first Ferrari driver to take on his final set of tyres.

* Lap 51: Schumacher, Alonso and sixth-placed Pizzonia pit. Pantano (14th) pulls off at Turn Five and retires.

* Lap 52: Schumacher leads by 18 seconds after taking on his last set of Bridgestones. Montoya pits and rejoins fourth, between Alonso and Button – the last unlapped runner. Sato, Pizzonia and Fisichella remain sixth, seventh and eighth. Coulthard and Webber round off the top 10.

* Lap 56: Pizzonia runs wide at Turn 11 and loses ground to Sato.

* Lap 60: With 10 laps to go, there are no prominent on-track battles.

* Lap 69: Ferrari’s mechanics prepare a pit-board message reading ‘WORLD NUMBER 1’.

* Lap 70: Schumacher gets to see the message. He eases up before crossing the line 4.6s ahead of Barrichello, with Alonso, Montoya, Button, Sato, Pizzonia and Fisichella trailing in the Ferraris’ wake. The one-two result gives Ferrari its sixth consecutive world championship for constructors and its 14th in all. Baumgartner finishes his home race 15th, five laps adrift.
