It depends............
If you are a Schumacher fan it was a legitimate maneouvre.
If, however, you are a sane human-being, it was yet another demonstration of the complete disregard for the rules and spirit of the sport of the box-headed meglomaniac.

That could have ended in disaster! Was there any sort of penalty given for that? I didn't watch this one and haven't read anything about it either.

Shuey has a ten place grid penalty for the next race.

Personally I think it was a bad move: Rubens knew Shuey wouldn't make it easy to pass as the overtake was critical for both drivers as it was for the last points position (I think), but still... had the pit wall been a few feet longer...

10 place grid penalty seems a bit mild for something that could have ended in serious harm to one or both drivers. The two drivers do have a history though and it was probably a case of Schumacher trying to put Rubens in his place... again!

Does anyone really take F1 seriously? I thought it was all fixed like pro wrestling.

Wasn't Rubens a bit unwise to try to overtake at that point anyway?

Isn't it a race? I thought the whole point was to try and stop people taking over you...

''EDDIE51: It was dangerous''

^ Enough said. Does the fact that the incident was ''no more than you would expect of Schumacher'' make it excusable?

agree with Eddie. No, it's no more excusable than the other times he's driven dangerously. But mysteriously he's still allowed to drive.

Agree with jno. And the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Pompous little prat!!

Fair comment... I guess there was enough room for Ruben to slide a copy of his last will and testament between his car and several hundred tonnes of concrete ;-p
