It was not team orders in effect during the race the drivers where told to race their butts off because rubie wanted to proove a point that he can be just as good as michael it was most enjoyable to watch the race between the two the bout had ended after the second round of pit stops ..
when Ross told them to go easy to ensure that both cars would finnish the race rather than risking engine failures battling to the end ..
But for me it was a surprising win because rubie was dropping back on the last few laps then takes the win weird
I think i was just a slight miscalculation by the team to get a picture of both cars crossing the line at the same time for tommorows tabliods the italians love to see that sort of thing

But ross denies this totaly but he's not fussed about who won or not the championship is well on :ferrari:s side ;)

And D.C came third im chuffed with that :D
 
I'm not terribly surprised. Once I saw the last two laps, I saw Rubens getting closer. On the last lap they were close, and about half-way through the last lap, I feared they would swap places.

And sure enough, they did.

How do you think betting houses around the world feel about this? Who wants to bet on a race, only to be cheated in the last 100 feet? My advice is to never bet anything other than "for place" if you think a Ferrari driver will win.

And the debate rages on...is it the closest race finish or is it not?
1971 Italian GP: 0.01 seconds (timing down to .01 of a second)
2002 USA GP: 0.011 seconds (timing down to 0.001 of a second)

Another case of significant digits...who can tell?
 
Autosport says:

Position/Driver Team Engine Time Laps
1 Rubens Barrichello Ferrari Ferrari 1h13m07.934s 73
2 Michael Schumacher Ferrari Ferrari 1h13m07.944s 73

Which is 0.010s.

Michael said he was going for a tie, I think that's nonsense - he just wanted a close finish and misjudged it. It's a bit silly really.

I was a lot more interested in Ralf's second major faux pas - does he get tired at the ends of seasons or what? Also, the Jaguar phenomenon was interesting - at one point both Minardis were ahead of the Jaguars!
 
it's getting ridiculous, really. :sleep:

another race i'm glad i didn't watch. woohoo, Jacques is 6th! :cool:
 
The sad thing is that this farce now gets listed as the equal closest GP finish ever, beating out Senna's 0.014s win at Spain in 1983 (beating Nigel Mansell).
 
Remember the Grand Prix of Austria? Rubens was ordered to slow so Michael could gain a bigger lead in the points championship. Michael let Rubens win as a favor for slowing down at Austria(although, Im sure Rubens sped up to win anyway). I'm happy he did so, it let Rubens secure second place in the championship.
 
Grrr I hate :ferrari:'s Photo Finishes....:forbidden:

But it was nice to see them mess up? :mclaren: DC must have loved seeing the Scarlet boys in a muddle :lol:
