This iconic photo captures the thrilling finish of the United States GP, where Rubens Barrichello emerged victorious for Ferrari. But it's not just about his win - it's about the sportsmanship and camaraderie on display as he crossed the chequered flag alongside his teammate Michael Schumacher. As Schumacher slowed down to allow Barrichello to take the win, this moment became one of controversy and debate among fans and pundits alike.
