Description
The 2002 United States Grand Prix (formally the 2002 SAP United States Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 29 September 2002, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, in front of about 125,000 spectators. It was the 16th and penultimate round of the 2002 Formula One World Championship and the third United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis. Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello won the 73-lap race after starting second. His teammate Michael Schumacher finished second and McLaren's David Coulthard was third.

The 0.011-second margin of victory was the second-closest in Formula One history at the time.
Michael Schumacher, who had led most of the race, eased off the throttle on the final lap, allowing Barrichello to pull alongside and ultimately win by the narrowest margin. This act was widely interpreted as an attempt to repay Barrichello for a controversial team order earlier in the season at the Austrian Grand Prix. Ferrari and Schumacher denied it was planned, stating they were attempting a dead-heat.
