Default Ferrari set up Monaco blockade. *SPOILER*

Ok so a little bit of journalistic license with the tabloid like headline!

But what does anyone who saw the qualifying for the F1 GP in Monaco think about the shenanigans with the Ferrari of MS? I think MS is a brilliant champ and a very decent person but Favio Briatore of Renault does not presently think so!

Ok so MS locks up and leaves his car in a position where it can easilly be seen by other drivers, but will also make them back off the gas a little. All of this in the dying seconds of qualifying and so a possible under handed way to protect your pole position from someone who is very possibly going to take it from you!

Remember how crucial pole is at Monaco where passing moves are largely impossible.

What you reckon then folks? Fair or foul?

MS should go collect his pension if he is having to resort to tricks to stay in front

I'd like to give mr Schumacher the benefit of the doubt but with his past record it's difficult, the line he took in the corner was totally wrong to get round it, plus in the interview after he was looking very sheepish and red faced. therefore Michael i personally think you and Ferrari are a load of cheatin b******s.

Theres an article on the BBC website about this. Apparently Renault are talking to the stewards about what happened.

I also thought his line for that corner looked wrong and also to me the back of his car seemed to kick round.

Maybe it was geniune but somehow I think not. I dont know why he does stuff like this he's still quick and has talent. He just gives me more reason to dislike him.

Mind you compared to the antics of Senna and Prost what he did is nothing.

I heard he has been relegated to the back of the grid.Silly decision IMO,as if the stewards think he was cheating they should have shown him a red card.If he was'nt cheating they should have left him alone.This is a half measure and does the sport no favours.
