Ferrari set up Monaco blockade. *SPOILER* - Page 2 - SV650.org

I think BB is correct. The officials on the track could have flagged the session. The Fewrrari removed and enough time for those that were out on the track at the time of the incident to do a warm up lap and a fast lap.

To wait for hours and only cave in due to pressure from a number of teams, does cast a poor light oveer the sport in general.

Micheal is a cheating git, not like he hasent done it before is it, LOL

We will have to see how the race develops

Do u reckon fernado would have got pole, its was very close?

The rules now state that anyone who "holds up another driver, goes deliberately slowly or who stops on the track for no reason shall be stripped of his time" (paraphrased by me).

So, because of this rule MS has been punished according with the current F1 guidelines, NOT because of pressure from other teams - although it would have been interesting to see what action was taken had Renault (& possibly others) not lodged an official complaint.

Just another example of the fact that MS's days as the 'golden boy' are over - a few years ago no action would have been taken no matter what his 'crime' !!

Personally, I'm delighted 'cos I've always thought he was an arrogant, insufferable pr*ck !!

I watched the qualifying this afternoon and said at the time is was strange that the engine stalled considering in past races he's been a master at keeping it going. I think the stewards have been right to deliberate and take time to come to there decision, hopefully it'll stop Bernie in his tracks from trying to have his mate MS reinstated. Personally i think the cheating barsteward should be banned for 2 races too.

Didn't 'Zee German' do something like that before to keep his place????

He's a cheat.

What annoys me is that,so it seems,no-body has the balls to challenge him!
Not the drivers,press,or the regulators of the sport.

I also would like to give him the benefit of the doubt as he is a legned, But have you watched the replay? he locked his wheels and tried to turn under no great stress. Then he went straight to the point where he couldn't get round at a slow spped then tried to turn the corner.

In short he stopped Alonso getting a certain pole on the circuit where it is most influential to the race... Did you see the press conference after MS looked very humble and sheepish, Alonso on the other hand was furious.

wether people like it or not MS is one of the greatest drivers the world has ever seen, i think his achievents will remain legendary.
btw i am by no means a schuey/ferrari fan, but doesnt the guy deserve some sort of respect for what he has achieved, being at the top of his game for quite some time now, granted what i saw today a was pretty poor show considering his previous standards, but all the negative vibes on this thread seem to stem from a personal hatred of the guy, i suppose thats human nature to shun whoever is on top....
personally i think the track stewards should have done something about it immediately.

anyway this is only my almost too humble opinion and not worth a jot

Sorry Pete, have to disagree.

His entire career has been built on his & Ferrari's ability to bully, cheat & intimidate other drivers & teams with (until now anyway) impunity.

There is no doubt that he's a talented driver - but a legend ???

NO WAY !!

28-05-06, 07:23 AM

Legend ?

I'd like to think that if I had that sort of talent that I'd make it on my terms, not sell your soul to the higest bidder, with the most influence in the sport, and be part of the team with the best car; and still be the preferred driver....

Let's be honest, the guy is good, but with that sort of help what do you expect ?

He's also a cheating bastid, yesterday is only one of a number of "issues" involving MS.
