Is it just me being ever so slightly cynical but what happened to reverse gear in that Ferrari? Surely not a tactical stall?

Exactly what I thought when I saw it happen.

And the anti-stall mechanism...

It wouldn't surprise me tbh. Still if there's protests then we'll find out.

So place your bets on wether Flavio is a happy person or not after hearing that interview?

LMAO at Flavio Briatore's comments about Schumacher and Ferrari.

Memphis · 27 May 2006 at 14:14

It looked to me from the onboard that even after locking up, he could have still made the corner, but he took the lock off and decided to stop the car.

He accused him and Ferrari of very blatently cheating essentially.

Dirty tactics.

NeilMick · 27 May 2006 at 14:16

Which is probably true.

The stewards will make a decision... in Ferrari's favour, wouldn't want to annoy them now would they?! :rolleyes:

Flibster · 27 May 2006 at 14:18

Several teams have gone to the stewards....

Prostests ahoy!!

Flibster · 27 May 2006 at 14:20

Now changing pc's I think to get the news done....

Most likely.

That was very suspect by Schuy and he looked very sheepish in the interview!

Magsy · 27 May 2006 at 14:34

For us without a tv at the mo, can somone explain what Sch did?

Decided to park his car in the middle of the final bend with 30 seconds left of the final qualifying session while everyone else still had to finish their last flying lap.

At the final corner of the lap, before they go uphill over the start/finish, he half locked up and drifted off line and stopped. It was very slow and he could have corrected it and carried on. He then couldnt reverse or continue (can't turn sharp enough) which meant yellow flags and spoilt the last 3-4 cars on their flying laps.. inc Alonso.

Kol · 27 May 2006 at 14:37

It was quite odd how it was slow as well. Someone as experienced as Schumi could easily have avoided that and continued with his turn.
