9 June in Ferrari history: Canadian GP victory and controversy

9 June connects contrasting Canadian Grand Prix memories for Ferrari. Michael Schumacher won in Montreal on this date in 2002, while Sebastian Vettel’s first place on the road became second in the official classification in 2019.

2002: Michael Schumacher wins in Montreal

Michael Schumacher secured another victory during his successful 2002 campaign, with Rubens Barrichello finishing third. The result placed both Ferrari drivers on the podium and added to the team’s strong sequence of results that season.

Canada was one of several circuits at which the Ferrari partnership delivered a victory alongside a second podium finish. The race therefore stands as both an individual success and a substantial contribution to the team’s championship total.

2019: A penalty changes Sebastian Vettel’s result

Seventeen years later, Sebastian Vettel crossed the finish line first but received a five-second time penalty. The stewards judged that he had rejoined the track unsafely after leaving it and forced Lewis Hamilton off track.

The penalty made Lewis Hamilton the official winner, with Sebastian Vettel second and Charles Leclerc third. Remembering the race accurately requires keeping the on-track finishing order separate from the final classification.
