Once again Rubens Barrichello had to yield its position, to little meters of the end, so that the Champion Michael Schumacher adjudges the Great Prize of Austria, in a definition that the fans hardly can forget. The attitude decided by escudería Ferrari bordered on the total indignation.
The Brazilian after to have been fastest in the training, to gain the classification of the day Saturday, and nowadays to lead of end to end all the race, I do not doubt a moment in yielding the position to him to its companion.
“They asked to Me that it let to him pass. I did it, although it would have preferred that did not request it to me. The today event does not affect determination. I believe that a good period in my life comes and I am piloting better than ever”, said Barrichello.
It has more of the attitude taken by the Ferrari, most incredible arrived at the time of podio, when Schumacher invited to Barrichello to rise the highest step. A so false, unworthy action and impropia of a multiple champion of the world, that ended up ending in the press conference alleging that it was not in agreement with the resolution taken by Ferrari, forgetting that had the last word in the final straight line he was he. A pathetic action of both conductors of Maranello that influences negatively in the image of the maximum category of the world.
“I do not enjoy this victory. I have enjoyed during the race but not in the last meters. It has been a decision of the equipment. Only in the end they called by radio and they said to me to Rubens that let to me pass”, mentioned Schumacher.
The thousands of present fans in A1-Ring, even the same tiffosis, disapproved the attitude of Ferrari whistling and realizing gestures to their pilots when these lowered. Also the gesture of censure of Ralf Schumacher, observing disturbed was evident as his brother embraced to Barrichello in the closed park.
It has more of this ridiculous definition, Ferrari returned to strike hard in Austria demonstrating great forcefulness from the same beginning of the competition.
Luckily incidents in feared the first curve of the circuit were not registered. Both Ferrari's released solidly, whereas the Williams, especially the one of Montoya, lost something of land in the first meters of race. In the Remus curve, second of the circuit, if incidents were registered. Jacques Villeneuve went of length striking to the Arrows de Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Both continued, although this last one delayed enough.
Just by 10 returns of race, Barrichello and Schumacher accumulated almost 15 seconds of difference. For that then, Enrique Bernoldi, Pedro of Rosa and Kimmi Raikkonen already made abandonment of the race with diverse mechanical problems.
With passing of the returns, the suspicions of a strategy of a single halting for the pilots of Williams began to increase themselves, whereas the colossal rate imposed by the pilots of Ferrari I know had to a strategy of two haltings partly. It is why as much Barrichello as Schumacher demanded to the maximum the F2002 from principle to aim.
The balance inclined decisively in favor of Ferrari when Graze had to enter the circuit after a spectacular confusion of Olivier Panis. As much Barrichello as Schumacher paused simultaneously winning appraised land, whereas Ralf Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya preferred to remain in track.
Minutes after the race is reinitiated, the tragedy was on the brink of madness seizing of the race. Nick Heidfeld, that marched between the six first with its Sauber, blocked the brakes of its car in the previous straight line to the Remus curve, taking with himself, previous impact, to the Jordan Honda of Takuma Sato.
“Everything seemed to go well until the security car retired. Coulthard and I went in compare towards the bracket and saw that she left smoke after a strong braking Yoong. Perhaps I stepped on too much hard the brake pedal while the brakes still were cold. I lost the control of the single-seater and I went away reverse gear to the grass. I thank because Takuma is well”, commented Heidfeld.
The Japanese was the one who took the worse part. The lateral blow, one of the most feared for the pilots, took hold off guard to Sato that had to receive attendance immediate to the flank of its remainder single-seater. Luckily the pilot is outside danger. “I have spoken with the doctors and they have said to me that he has been one of the majors miracles that have never seen. It seems that not it has injuries at this moment, so we cross the fingers so that everything goes well”, said the director of Jordan, Eddie Jordan.
After the scare, the race was reinitiated with Barrichello to the followed front of Ralf Schumacher, without to have stopped and Michael Schumacher behind. Montoya I know maintain
