Schmacher accuses Alonso & Hamilton of slowing him down...

[markb]

   ...Thanks Chris for that video, and I must say, if that's not blatant "ramming by Shuey,  then I don't know what is....!!!!  Come on, it's not just one, or two or three examples or incidents involving Schuey, there have been many over the years.

From the following article on Updatef1.com it would appear Alonso did hamper Schumi's quick lap, - unintentionally of course.

Fernando Alonso has revealed that Michael Schumacher suspected he deliberately held up the German during qualifying in Melbourne.

With their helmets on and Alonso still in the cockpit of his Ferrari, the pair had been spotted in animated discussion in Albert Park's 'parc ferme' area.

Schumacher, formerly a five-time champion with Ferrari, explained to reporters that he had asked the Spaniard "whether the team had told him (he was on a flying lap) and he said no."

In an interview with Germany's spox.com, Alonso adds: "Yes, he thought I had held him up intentionally on his fast lap. But that's nonsense.

"I could not see him in the mirrors and there was no info on the radio. So I was only able to move over after he was already there."

What makes you say that?  Are you sure JV couldn't have made the corner?  I've looked at it a couple of times and I'm not convinced that JV couldn't have continued if MS hadn't bumped him.

really Scott?

So MS only hit JV to stop him going off the track!

So like michael isn't it?        

Lol, and I'm the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World!

No SM, I was responding to Jeri's contention that MS stopped JV from going off by hitting him.  I wasn't so sure he would have gone off (he was attempting an inside pass and was a going into the corner a little hot - I think he would have made the corner, but nobody will ever know, will they?).
