The 2000 Formula One season was the 51st FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on March 12, 2000, and ended on October 22 after seventeen races. Michael Schumacher became Ferrari's first World Drivers Champion for 21 years. Schumacher clinched the drivers' title at the penultimate race of the season, the Japanese Grand Prix. Ferrari also successfully defended their constructors' title.
The season was marred by one death: a race marshall was killed at the 2000 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The two Jordans collided on the approach to the Variante della Roggia and slid into the cars ahead of them. The marshall was struck by a loose tyre from one of the Jordans.[1] Michael Schumacher considered quitting the sport as this was the first death in F1 since driver Ayrton Senna's in 1994.[2]

[edit] Notes
- To keep costs down, the V10 engine configuration was made mandatory in 2000 so that engine builders would not develop and experiment with other configurations.[3] The V10 configuration had been the most popular since the banning of turbocharged engines in 1989, and no other configuration had been used since 1998.
