He started from third on the grid after qualifying had been dominated by his World Championship rival, <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Villeneuve" title="Jacques Villeneuve">Jacques Villeneuve</a>. In the morning warm-up, which took place in hot, dry weather, Schumacher was only 15th. However, to everyone's surprise, heavy rain started to fall around half an hour before the scheduled race start and continued for around twenty minutes, completely changing the conditions and resulting in the field starting behind the <a href="/wiki/Safety_car#Formula_One" title="Safety car">safety car</a>, the first time this happened in Formula One history.<sup id="cite_ref-Collantine_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Collantine-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the excitement, Schumacher's brother <a href="/wiki/Ralf_Schumacher" title="Ralf Schumacher">Ralf</a> - who had qualified sixth - spun and crashed his <a href="/wiki/Jordan_197" title="Jordan 197">Jordan</a> at Stavelot while going to take his place on the grid. He was forced to start from the pit lane in his spare car. Explaining the incident to <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_network)" title="ITV (TV network)">ITV</a> later, he said: "I had nothing to lose, and I lost it.". Also during the period of cars assembling on the grid Michael Schumacher made exploratory laps (by returning to the pits rather than the grid) in both his race car and the spare Ferrari, enabling him to assess the track situation and choose the spare that had been set-up for intermediate weather conditions.<sup id="cite_ref-Collantine_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Collantine-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Of the front runners, both <a href="/wiki/Williams_Grand_Prix_Engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="Williams Grand Prix Engineering">Williams</a> drivers and <a href="/wiki/Jean_Alesi" title="Jean Alesi">Jean Alesi</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Benetton_B197" title="Benetton B197">Benetton</a> - alongside Villeneuve on the front row - started on <a href="/wiki/Rain_tyre" title="Rain tyre">full wet tyres</a> while the others started on intermediates. The safety car circulated for the first three laps, and at the end of lap 4 - the first proper racing lap - Villeneuve continued to lead from Alesi and Schumacher. However, this was where the German driver started to take control of the race. He made a brave pass inside Alesi at the La Source hairpin at the start of lap 5, then overtook Villeneuve at the Rivage loop on the same lap. By the end of the lap he was already 5.8 seconds ahead, and on the next lap he stretched this lead to 16.9 seconds, with <a href="/wiki/Giancarlo_Fisichella" title="Giancarlo Fisichella">Giancarlo Fisichella</a> - whose Jordan had also started on intermediates - moving into second after Villeneuve unexpectedly pitted.<sup id="cite_ref-Grandprix.com_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Grandprix.com-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On midfield the <a href="/wiki/Arrows_Grand_Prix_International" title="Arrows Grand Prix International">Arrows Yamaha</a> showed strong pace on Bridgestone intermediate tyres. <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Diniz" title="Pedro Diniz">Pedro Diniz</a>, who had already beaten teammate <a href="/wiki/Damon_Hill" title="Damon Hill">Damon Hill</a> on qualifying, passed <a href="/wiki/Heinz-Harald_Frentzen" title="Heinz-Harald Frentzen">Frentzen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Herbert" title="Johnny Herbert">Herbert</a> and <a href="/wiki/David_Coulthard" title="David Coulthard">Coulthard</a> on track to reach third place. The Brazilian driver pitted alongside <a href="/wiki/Mika_H%C3%A4kkinen" title="Mika Häkkinen">Mika Häkkinen</a> for dry tyres, however a sixteen-second pit made him drop to 12th place.
