1 of 500 As the 2002 Formula 1 Grand Prix season began to unfold it was clear that the main challenge to the dominance of Ferrari and Michael Schurmacher was going to come frorn Williams and Juan Pablo Montoya. As the grid stormed away in Sepang in Malaysia, the two front runners, Montoya and Schumacher went head to head for the first corner. With characteristic strength Montoya refused to yield and left Michael struggling on the inside with his braking. The debate will continue as to whether Montoya should have yielded more or Schumacher not pushed braking so hard. The two touched rather than collided but Schumacher lost his front wing and had to pit whilst Montoya was given an unjustified drive through penalty which cost him the race. Some consolation was derived from the fact that Ralf Schumacher in the other Williams won the race with Montoya second. Michael Schumacher fought back through the field to snatch a lucky third place from an unlucky Jenson Button whose Renault suffered a suspension failure on the penultimate lap, denying him his first podium position. *Please note this does not come with frame.
