It was infamous for the "staged finish", where race leader Rubens Barrichello, who was running first, was ordered by Ferrari to allow Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher to overtake him under "team orders" and win the Grand Prix. Ferrari wanted their number one driver Schumacher to win the race and collect the maximum points for the Drivers' Championship. Barrichello let him pass on the last lap at the finish line which greatly upset the spectators. At the podium, in response to the jeers of the crowd, Schumacher stood on the second place spot and Barrichello stood on top. Schumacher took the trophy for first place from the Austrian chancellor and gave it to Barrichello then took the second place trophy. Barrichello, Schumacher and Ferrari were fined one million U.S. dollars for the failure to observe Article 170 of the Formula One Sporting Regulations concerning the podium ceremony. [cite web |title=Official FIA Press Release - The 2002 Austrian Grand Prix |publisher=www.fia.com |date=2002-06-26 |url=http://www.fia.com/mediacentre/Press_Releases/The_FIA/2002/260602-01.html|accessdate=2006-10-26] As a result of this, and another incident at the United States Grand Prix, the FIA declared new rules against "team orders" artificially affecting race results.

The race also featured a huge accident between Takuma Sato and Nick Heidfeld - Heidfeld lost control over his car, spun round and crashed into Sato's side. Sato suffered minor injuries but got stuck in the wreckage and it took several minutes for the race track stewards to cut him out from the vehicle.
