The buddy act is over - he has formally complained to Todt for Schumi's last lap lunge out of the tunnel - it would've been a crash if RB hadn't taken avoiding action.
Typical Schumi red mist then almost killed his brother on the dash to the line - Ralf also had to take avoiding action and has branded his brother 'crazy ... sometimes Michael is not right in the head'.

Damn what a crazy fool!!!
Now we can make a poll here to see who will be M$'s "buffer" next season !!!!!
Rubinho was a race diver at Magny Cours last year......he got passed by a race driver at Monaco this year.....
His patience is ending and he's becoming too eager to end up higher in the classification, so now he's trying some kamikaze actions !!!!
Simon, Michael passed Rubinho exactly where Nick passed Fred...... Nick banked on the fact that Fred would take avoiding action.
"I know Senna did the same. They bank on the fact the other guy will take avoiding action. It is not clean and fair and certainly a 'recent' development."
I understand that you are a frustrated "Our Damon" fan, but ya just got to let it go.............. and to think I let Quig talk me into not setting you or your flags on fire at Imola.....'sigh. Well maybe I will get that opportunity next year....I just gotta confer with me Yankee-loving Fenian about which European GP we will attend in '06 that permits open fire-pits.........................
BBQ Murph
Schumi is a bastard because he passes during pit stops, and he's a bastard when he passes on track? :rolleyes:
F1 is overtaking.
Barrichello should overtake more and speak less. And possibly retire at the end of the year.
after years of having him pull over everytime he pulled up behind him I guess it was just a natural thing to do! I agree it's time "Barrislave" said bye bye.
There is a difference to between a ballsy but perfectly judged move (Heidfeld was level as they turned in, Alonso had to give) and just throwing it up the inside and relying on the other guy to be sensible (Schumi). He cannot and never has been very good at overtaking.
Murph, on the issue of the viges flags, you're all talk! Don't forget, Mrs viges is a Celt and would not be happy with the immolation of her dragon. Your decision, you seditious man ...
Let's embrace overtaking, not shun it.
I think Mrs. Viges and I can come up with this compromise......I won't be allowed to burn her "flag"......but as far as her "man" is concerned, it's "open season"..... and please bring the Lotus as Ger is looking for a new set of wheels to drive around the Killarny estate..........
see ya then
Murph AKA "the torch"..................
Jello, I have embraced overtaking since I started watching F1 in the days of Gilles and Mansell! I do not believe Ralf and Rubens were making unjustified whinges as sore losers. Did you hear Alonso complaining about the moves on him? No.
Rubens move on Jarno at Magny-Cours was fantastic. Heidfeld and Webbo were fab (Alonso would have been penalised by the stewards if he had finished before Webbo). Trulli's lunge into the hairpin was worth a punt.
The key thing is relative positions at turn-in. Sato at Nurburgring last year was marginal.
Obviously we differ on this one but simply throwing it up the inside once the other guy is turning in is kamikaze. You will have caused an avoidable accident. I think everyone, deep down, knows the difference. Again, see interviews with Andretti and Stewart for clarification. From the top of my head, Stewart v Rindt at Silverstone was epic, hard and, above all, fair.
I'd love to see Schui try that shit with Paul Tracy :hehe:
Touche !!!!
