| Schumacher penalized!!! Schumi is back!!!! Come on it would not be a real come back if he did not get some kind of penalty already  BBC Sport - F1 - Michael Schumacher penalised for late-race pass Quote:
Mercedes driver Michael Schumacher has been penalised for overtaking Ferrari's Fernando Alonso when it was not allowed at the end of the Monaco Grand Prix. The decision adds 20 seconds to the German's race time, demoting him to 12th place and putting Alonso sixth. Schumacher passed Alonso on his way out of Rascasse and into Anthony Noghes, but the move came under a safety car. Race stewards ruled that Schumacher breached safety rules, but Mercedes have announced that they will appeal. The four race stewards in Monaco included Schumacher's old rival Damon Hill. Schumacher sealed the world championship in 1994 after a controversial collision with the Englishman. Hill told BBC Sport: "Believe me my only concern was that the right thing was done, if that was the case consistently things would be better. But there was a wry smile from Michael. Slightly ironic you could say."....

| I'm sure Michael wasn't the only driver who considered this move. Strange that he was the only one who went through with it. Could have been easily avoided if the Safety Car just stayed out. |

| DHill is getting revenge for when Schumey punted him.

Further, I like the decision by Michael to poke at Hill, belittle Alonso, while staying within the 2010 rules. |

| Damn. The call seems fair for a normal race, but 20 sec penalty when everyone was bunched up behind the safety car should qualify as cruel and unusual punishment, imo. This call just dropped my 4 spots in the fantasy league.

| The Safety Car went-in and the Green flag was waved so that's racing even if it was just one corner. Shumi went for it like the opportunistic vulture he has always been and I actually cheered him! The look on Alonso's face must have been priceless and for that its worth it to be thrown back to 12th
