Defending champion Mika Häkkinen was again awarded the World Drivers' Championship. His team McLaren just missed out: it was Ferrari that clinched the World Constructors' Championship by a margin of four points. It would be the last Drivers' title for a McLaren driver until 2008. It was Ferrari's first Constructors' title since 1983, but would also mark the first of six successive titles up to 2004.
