Schumacher's 2002 Austria team-orders Ferrari up for auction
The 2002 Austrian Grand Prix was burned into the memories of F1 fans after Ferrari ordered Rubens Barrichello to hand victory to Michael Schumacher just before the finish line. The victory was Schumacher's fifth in a dominant championship season but resulted in outrage among fans who felt Barrichello, who had been dogged by reliability issues and only finished one of the five races prior to Austria, had been cheated.
Team orders were banned later that season after Schumacher cruised to a dominant fifth world title.
