You`ve got to take your hat off to the Ross Brawn, Michael Schumacher partnership.
It`s easy to see why they won so many championships with the might of Ferrari behind them aswell.
Nobody but nobody even came close to pulling off the same move.
Come on all you schuey haters suppose he cheated again. Yawn

Whether he keeps the place or not total respect for pulling off the move against the one person who cuts up his team mate in the pit lane to get to change his tyres first.

Simon,

As you know, i'm far from a schui fan, but that move was the highlight of a dull race, fully within the rules, he took a wide entrance into the corner, Alonso lost traction trying to cover, he was clearly still behind at the line. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. ( though if I was Damon, I would ban him as revenge for Adalaide!)

Alonso pit entrance move was also legal, but i'm sure made for an 'interesting' discussion in the de-brief.

Schumacher penalised for Alonso safety-car pass
There's confusion at the final corner as Schumacher passes Alonso

Mercedes GP’s Michael Schumacher has been penalised by the Monte Carlo race stewards for his overtaking manoeuvre on Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso in the dying moments of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Schumacher was handed a drive-through penalty, which is converted after the race into a 20-second time penalty, dropping him from sixth to 12th in the results.

Schumacher passed Alonso just as the safety car pulled in at the end of Lap 78. The FIA stewards, which included his old sparring partner Damon Hill, have deemed the German breached Article 40.13 of the Sporting Regulations, which states that “if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."

Mercedes will appeal the stewards' decision and a date for that appeal will be set in due course by the FIA. Schumacher’s demotion moves Toro Rosso’s Sebastien Buemi, who had finished in 11th, into the points in tenth place.

I`m speechless
Lot`s of things did come into my head but most of them start with F. B. Or W.
So speechless is better.

Nice to know Damon Hill still bears a grudge, bless him!!

Cracking move by Schuey! Was just wondering why Alonso was 'on the edge' if they wern't meant to be racing?! Loved the pile of paperwork Ross had to take to the stewards....

Well done Damon (But still does not make up for him stealing your first championship)
