======================

Ferrari dominated the 2002 Formula One season, the team winning 15 out of 17 races (Schumacher 11, Barrichello 4) to match McLaren’s record number of wins in a season, set back in 1988.  10 pole positions, 9 one-two wins and at least one Scuderia driver on the podium in each of the 17 races on the calendar.

Their successful run, however, was tainted by a team orders controversy at the Austrian Grand Prix. In a replay of 2001, Barrichello was asked to give way to Schumacher on the final lap of the Grand Prix, except this time for the win. An embarrassed Schumacher then pushed Barrichello to the top step of the podium, and Ferrari were subsequently fined $1 million by the FIA for interfering with podium procedures.  This debacle eventually led to the banning of team orders ahead of the 2003 season.

Schumacher matched Juan Manuel Fangio’s record of five world championships, set in the 1950s, at the 2002 French Grand Prix.  Ferrari finished 1–2 at the United States Grand Prix, Barrichello leading Schumacher after the latter had slowed down on the last lap to attempt a ‘dead heat’ with his teammate, by a margin of 0.011 seconds, in one of the closest finishes in Formula One history.
