Ferrari talked Schumi home.
Ferrari thought it had lost the Brazilian Grand Prix when Michael Schumachers car developed a problem, until quick thinking from an engineer ensured success for the German.
According to Autosport, electronic systems specialist Ted Czapski told Schumacher to adjust his lines and speeds at certain points on the Interlagos circuit, and has been credited with producing a second win of the season for the team as a result.

Schumachers F1-2000 apparently suffered an oil pressure problem in the closing stages of the race, and looked to be going the same way as team-mate Rubens Barrichello - until Czapski and technical director Ross Brawn intervened. With the latter relaying Czapskis instructions, Schumacher was able to hold on to take a four second win over the McLaren of David Coulthard.
