Schu hands victory to Barrichello

Rubens Barrichello was gifted victory by Michael Schumacher as Ferrari manipulated the result of the United States Grand prix at Indianapolis.

Barrichello triumphed by 0.010 seconds after Schumacher, who had led the race for all but two of the 73 laps, slowed after the final turn while David Coulthard was back in third for McLaren-Mercedes.

But why Ferrari chose to change the finishing order in such fashion will surely lead to fresh criticism that they are making a mockery of the sport, as happened after Austria earlier in the season when Barrichello was ordered to move over.
