It's one of the more serious blows in image of F1 in history
:? You thought that was a serious blow to F1? I wonder what you're thoughts of Indianapolis '05 are. I agree it may affect the reputation of M. Schumacher, but not F1.

I tend to agree, it is done and over with it, time to move on
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Herr Weber should keep thoughts like that to himself, that is incredibly insulting to the Steward concerned.

While we are still on this subject a quote from Michael


"I can only apologise to Fernando," said Schumacher, who finished fifth after starting 22nd. "He had just honestly put the ideal lap together in this moment, but at no moment was it my intention, because I didn't even know where Fernando was, at that moment - because, here, with the strategy you can stagger things"

Such a load of rubbish to suggest he did not know the lap times of the following drivers, therefore he cannot be guilty as charged.

The ruined lap times were irrelevant.........at the time Schuey parked his car he was on pole, that's the only information he needed to know.

Why add insult to injury - does he assume that the fans are too stupid to realise this?

The Ferrari camp would be better off just shutting up right now.

I guess he forgot that the stewards didn't help Alonso at Monza 2004 while they helped Schumacher at the Nurburgring 2003.

Indy '05 was a bit like Kyalami '82, but for better reasons!!!! Safety!
I still assume that people watch F1 instead of "demolition derbys" because of the traditional values preserved in F1 from their early war GP's ancestors.
Seeing Schumi in F1 is like having Hulk Hogan in a cricket match: image destroying and embarassing for the real fans.

Marshalls, not steward.....

At anyrate, not discussing the validity of the penalty or whether it was too harsh(I am a MS fan, but I thought he probably did do it intentionally, but at that moment). FIA, or that spanish steward, was not entirely wise in his coming out to comment on how "proud" he was at assessing the penalty and made the call as they did. Knowing full well about the world championship, and whats at stake and who's involve at the title fight at the moment. To have a spanish steward afterward said something like that does not lend weight or creditbility, though impartial as he may be, to the final decision.

My 2 cents...

I think that Spanish steward was "proud" that he reached what in his mind was a difficult decision, and the proper one. What with all the politics and everyone running around calling names, he and his two companions took many hours and close scrutiny to arrive at a very difficult decision. The easy way would have to let Shu off.
Jean Todd has lashed out at the decisions, and Michael di too. But even Max Mosley, who does like Shu, had to protect the interrity of the sport by telling them to can it and shut their mouths, their open disagreement with the decision makers are putting the sport in disrepute. So what happens next? Shu's little buddy, his close and very loyal manager lashes out at the stewards... Willy Webber should be banned from personal attendance at all races this remaining season.

Like I said, I am not doubting their verdict, but in the context and how it may be perceived it is not a wise thing to do....I find it strange for the media to feel the need to point out he is Spanish, because if they had left it alone it probably wouldn't be as awkward....
