Barrichello is forced to let Schumacher pass in 2002.
The 2002 Austrian Grand Prix received negative publicity after Ferrari instructed Rubens Barrichello to cede his victory to Michael Schumacher.

The grandstands and pit buildings were demolished in 2004, rendering the track unusable for any motorsport category. In later 2004 and early 2005, there were intense discussions whether the owner, Red Bull, would find another use for the site or actually bring back motor sports to it. Red Bull is an energy drink on the market and is sold by Red Bull GmbH. However, as of January 2005, this seems more unlikely than ever, as Dietrich Mateschitz publicly announced that he had no intention to waste money on a deficitary circuit. Dietrich Mateschitz (born May 20, 1944 in Sankt Marein im Mürztal, Styria) is an Austrian businessman and Billionaire. This failure of the project, which was of considerable importance for the surrounding municipalities, may even have serious political repercussions, as Styrian governor Waltraud Klasnic had strongly supported the project.
However, in April 2008 the current owners of the track , Red Bull, have decided to restore the track as a racing venue and DTM Chief are considering to return there for a race in 2009. Red Bull is an energy drink on the market and is sold by Red Bull GmbH. [1]
