No, he meant Monaco 2005, when Schumacher made Barrichello avoid an accident when he wanted to take Rubens's 7th place (and squeezed his brother in an effort to take 6th). Which effectively meant that at Ferrari there is one set of rules for all drivers... except the appointed number 1. "After the final pitstops, you don't attack your teammate, except if..."

Rubens was caught napping and got overtaken in the chicane. Then threw the toys out of the pram.

When did Ferrari have the final pit stop rule exactly?

Yeah, there was no threat. Hill was just saying that he would fight Ralf for the win if they had to race, and in these conditions that would be suicidal.

Jordan had told Ralf that if Alesi became a serious threat then he would ask Damon to move across and let Ralf through.

But other than that there was absolutely nothing that could be gained and everything that could be lost by letting them race.

Even though Ralf had the pace, there was no guarantee he'd cleanly overtake Hill, especially in these conditions. He had a history of taking other drivers off, even in the dry.

And there were a couple of reasons for Hill's perceived lack of pace.

i) He drove the entire race on a dry setup (he had gone for this before the restart because he felt the track was drying and the weather was improving - as it happens the rain got worse.)

ii) After the race, the team discovered that, during Hill's middle stint, he had been driving with a cracked rim on his right rear wheel and that the tyre pressure was 14psi (rather than the normal 19psi). I have a vague recollection (but it is very vague) that Hill mentioned an incident while overtaking a Prost in that second stint.

Sure. Because "being caught napping" means not expecting a crazyass lunge down the inside from your team mate that you're only just able to avoid.

Much as it pains me to admit, I agree with Fiki on this one.

At the time, I had mixed feelings about the chicane overtake. Whilst I had to laugh (as it was typical Schumi - never give up), I also knew it was unfair on Barri as the 'no overtaking after final pit stop' policy was well known.

I'm a huge Schumi fan, but understood Barri being v annoyed about this .

Andy, no need to be rude with the images. We can have a normal conversation even if we don't agree, ok?

This is the replay on the overtake, just before the 57th minute:

Does this look like a crazyass lunge? I beg to differ. You can hear a certain Brundle actually saying that Rubens was caught napping.

Also around the 54:20 mark you can see the move on Ralf. Michael went for the inside when he saw an opening, I don't consider this squeezing like Fiki suggests.

You're right, I apologize.

It will always be that milk advert for me.

Of course not, MS had absolutely nothing to do with that.

That's fine, I have my share of blame too, so likewise. We shouldn't get wound up for something like that.

The move on Ralf does indeed look less dramatic than I remembered. Have you been doctoring the footage Schumie?

Raikkonen and his little trip out of the sao paulo race track

Montoya and Tennis...

Montoya vs cameraman?

Kimi vs Small kid.

Maybe he meant Monaco 07 when Fonzo and Lewis were 1st and 2nd?

Trulli stuffing up on the final lap of the French GP 2004, gifting the final podium position to Barrichello in front of all Renault and Michelin's important corporate people. I'm not sure if the incident or Briatore's face was funnier.
