it a "scandal". The Hockenheimring track owners Hockenheimring GmbH announced that it filed a trespassing charge against Sehli. He would be awarded compensation from Mercedes-Benz and apologised for the track invasion. On 16 December Sehli won a court case against Mercedes-Benz who were ordered to pay F91,000 for "dismissing him without any conclusive reasons". He was however fined £600 by Hockenheimring GmbH for breaching circuit limits. The race result meant that Michael Schumacher's lead in the World Drivers' Championship was reduced to two points. Häkkinen moved into joint second, level on points with team-mate Coulthard; both were eight points ahead of Barrichello, with Fisichella remaining a distant fifth with 18 points. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren reduced Ferrari's lead to four points. Williams, with 22 points, increased the gap to their rivals Benetton to four points, whilst BAR maintained fifth position on 12 points, with six races of the season remaining.
