The 2002 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Monza on 15 September 2002. It was another dominating one-two finish for Ferrari, with Rubens Barrichello winning on a two-stop strategy, in front of his one-stopping team mate Michael Schumacher. Jaguar-Cosworth's Eddie Irvine finished third and also scored his final points.
The Grand Prix was contested by ten teams with two drivers each. The teams (also known as constructors) were Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, Sauber, Jordan, BAR, Renault, Jaguar, Minardi and Toyota.
Heading into the fifteenth race of the season, both the Drivers' Championship and Constructors' Championship were already settled, with Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher having claimed the Drivers' Championship four rounds earlier at the French Grand Prix. Ferrari secured the Constructors' Championship at the thirteenth round of the championship (the Hungarian Grand Prix) with their nearest rival Williams too many points behind to catch them.
