Well, the suggestions of Michael having susepnsion/tyre probs makes things unclear.
However, on the basis of how it seemed during the race: A 50-50 thing. JPM should have left more margin, been more aware (his apology to Michael seems to indicate he agrees). HOWEVER: Michael doing what seemed like such a severe accelerate-brake cycle in the middle of the tunnel like that was not sensible. It was just asking for trouble. I don't think any punishment should come of it: the drivers and teams should sort it out amoung themselves. |

It was funny watching the cameras follow MS into the garage. Then WHAM!....I assume MS threw his helmet against the wall and the cameramen were paraded out. Michael only needs to be angry with himself. What the hell was he thinking of by braking like that in a dark tunnel?? Watching him drive back to the pits with 3 wheels reminded me of Spa 98. I'm lovin it.

Well the stewards decision is that it was a reacing incident, and given taht they have access to all the telemtery, drivers marshals reports I think they are in a better position to judge than we.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by The Monster Yes but unlike on the road, the lead driver has a duty not to bring undue risk to the cars behind by erratic or unpredictable braking, Micheal has done this many times and its about time he got caught out. I actually cheered when he went into the wall -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree. Perhaps some of his moves are legal according to the stewards, but it is about time his moves (and somebody) take him out when it does not work to his benefit. Intimidation is a tool he uses, and he uses it well. That is why I like to see it backfire, even though this was probably just a screw up, and does not fit.... |

No way was it Montoya's fault.
Schumacher didn't intend to cause an accident (for once), he just made a stupid mistake. Shame he's not man enough to admit it. Still, nice to see justice done! ![]() Last edited by strider; 23 May 2004 at 18:42. |

It was one of those things. I thought MS had a problem because his brake locked. Maybe it was just over enthusiasm. Anyway JPM was not in the wrong and I guess his apology was more of a "sorry you lost out" thing rather than "sorry I punted you off into the wall and totally screwed your chances of third place, if at all" *ahem*

Great to hear Patrick Head's comments, he's always worth listening to, and more often than not talks sense.

If Montoya was in the wrong in the incident Patrick would have let us all know that's for sure!
