23 June in Ferrari history: Rubens Barrichello’s European GP victory
23 June connects Ferrari one-two finishes at the Nürburgring and Zandvoort. Rubens Barrichello led Michael Schumacher home at the 2002 European Grand Prix, while Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni had achieved the same team result in the Netherlands in 1974.
2002: Rubens Barrichello wins at the Nürburgring
Rubens Barrichello completed the 60-lap European Grand Prix ahead of his Ferrari team-mate. Michael Schumacher finished 0.294 seconds behind, with Kimi Räikkönen third for McLaren.
The gap from the winner to the third-placed car exceeded 46 seconds. Ferrari’s result therefore combined a close finish between its own drivers with a substantial advantage over the nearest rival.
It was Rubens Barrichello’s first victory of the 2002 season. Further wins followed in Hungary, Italy and the United States, making the European Grand Prix the start of his winning sequence that year.
1974: Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni finish first and second
The Dutch Grand Prix took place on 23 June in 1974, with Niki Lauda winning ahead of Clay Regazzoni. That earlier result gives the date another example of Ferrari securing both leading positions.
