SPIELBERG, Austria -- Michael Schumacher didn't need the fastest car to win the Austrian Grand Prix.

Schumacher cruised to victory Sunday when Ferrari teammate Rubens Barrichello -- following team orders -- yielded the lead in the final straightaway, allowing the four-time world champion to take the checkered flag.

Barrichello, the polesitter who led the entire race, settled for second as Schumacher claimed his first Austrian GP and fifth victory in six races this season.

''It was probably the wrong decision to do it this way, I am not very happy,'' Schumacher said. ''I take no joy from this victory.''

A disappointed Barrichello, who had his contract with Ferrari extended last week, stood by the call by his team. The Associated Press
