After considering the overtaking move of Barrichello to Schumacher on lap 66 of the Hungarian GP, the stewards have found that Schumacher deliberately moved away from his line to block Barrichello, and hence receives a penalty.
I can see Michael turning his head looking at rubens or checking the gap between the fron tires, while Rubens keeping his head straight looking for a way out.Very cool of RubensWhiteBlue wrote:

I disagree, we should encourage passing, it's hard enough as it is without crap like this.wrigs wrote:Under which section of the sporting code?WhiteBlue wrote:

To be honest I don't think that Schumacher should be punished for this. These guys are top racing drivers - we should trust that they have spacial awareness enough to judge when they get too close to other drivers. Had something actually happened then yes, Schumacher should be punished. But I think it is better for the sport not to discourage this kind of behaviour just out of principle. What was much more dangerous and should be punished is Mercedes' huge blunder with Rosberg's rear left during the pit-stop.
To be fair he claimed it when talking to the FIA guy before going out to the podium. I believe him in this case - until we hear the radio message that told him to do it. Hopefully FOM will continue their 'stirring' by releasing more radio messages.WhiteBlue wrote:I heard a lot of probable in that interview.

I'm not sure I get your point - I'm saying we shouldn't discourage risky passes by punishing them simply because they are risky. A pass is a pass whether it's risky or not.komninosm wrote:I disagree, we should encourage passing, it's hard enough as it is without crap like this.wrigs wrote:Under which section of the sporting code?WhiteBlue wrote:

Once again, on which grounds would you punish him? Which section of the sporting code did he break?manchild wrote:Complete and unchanged B U S T A R D!
At least 3 race ban would be a good punishment - good enough to show that any replacement would score better results than his bustardness.
Thats ridiculous to only punish if a move leads to an incident. The act and intent are the same regardless of the outcome. Not punishing such actions would only encourage more reckless driving. It was a miracle that RB kept the car on the track, and this should not discount the unsafe driving from MS.wrigs wrote:
