Any of you watch the Monaco Qualifying?
schumacher the kraut had the fastest lap, then on the last corner he purposely over runs it, and you can see from the in car that he could have made it. obvious as shit, and then he stalls it. this meant that everyone behind him had to slow for the last corner to avoid him, screwin their quali lap up -including alonso who was three tenths up at the second split. the kraut timed it so that it was the last few seconds of the qualifying session. bingo he thought he had pole. but he's been sent to the back of the grid.
what a crazy german

Yeah Schumacer was a bit of a twat. Again.

I watched most of it. Fuck it was bad coverage. And some of those drivers are pretty sad. GO KIMI!

Hmmm, arguably thats just being a master tactician.

In the same was as putting an obstacle on a downhill track to slow down your opponents. It's not in the spirit of the sport - especially in qualiyfying. I dont know what made him think he could get away with it in the biggest race of the season.

Especially when there is hardly any passing oportunity on a street course, and qualifying is extremly important.

[Chris_D]

At least he got exactly what he deserved, though.

no, thats totally wrong. If you believe that then you're a cheat also.

I went to bed, what did he get? A drive through penalty?

He shouldn't be on the starting grid IMO.

Don't get sucked into the Hype folks....

Bernie "My Wife's twice the Man I am" Ecclestone probably planned that incident to happen... To get some interest for his Pants Poor racing series.

I reckon they should train Chimps to drive those F1 cars... It'd Be much better to watch.


Plus they could relax all those troublesome Safety rules... thus allowing Faster Racing.. and Spectacular Crashes & shit.

Well he has no chance of a podium on this track, so I'm happy enough.

That's a scary thought.

highly valued opinion. you're right. How did I miss that?
so obvious when you look at it. Of course ferrari - who spend about 400 million euros on the race team, will do what bernie says, and have their two cars start at the back of the most prestigous motor race in the world.
