IMO Schummi pulled off a classic overtake into the 2nd to last corner on Alonso on final lap of the Monaco GP this weekend.

Dumb ass bloody rules ruin what would otherwise have been the single talking point over the weekend - my god what a dull race it was otherwise - Monaco GP? should be retitled the Monaco procession.

They would not be there if it were not for the "glamour" and I for one am sick to death of the hype surrounding this race - way over the top for so many years now.

Oh and if I hear Alonso protest that he was "suprised" Schummi overtook him at that corner, once more, I swear I will fly to Spain and stick the entirity of Santander's marketing POS up his jacksey.

Suprised were you Fernando? Bullshit - that explains why you slapped your foot down hard and almost had it sideways into the wall then, such was your suprise, or were you caught on the hop, unsure and tried your damndest to defend your position?

C'mon you Spanish whinger, lets hear the truth from you for once!

Hope they change it next season.

No, the stewards go by what the race director told them. If the race director set it out as 'finish under the safety car' then Schumi broke the rules.

If they are to finish under the safety car, it still pulls in (check the rules) and the drivers follow the leader to the line.

Problem is Race control announced it the opposite way, the lights went off on the safety car and green flags were waved.

The problem is with RC not the stewarding.

From a very proud RD especially after the Monaco GP.

don't worry RD, enjoy it while you can, a (very) reliable source informs me your early season pace will be gobbled up in huge chunks very shortly.

See those silver arrows fly
