Montoya-Shumacher Malaysia 2002 Incident

Schumacher cuts across the track from pole and into the racing line of Montoya. Montoya then tries to get ahead entering the first turn and Schumahcer not willing to give up his position bumps into Montoya's car damaging his front wing. Montoya is later given a drive-through penalty for the incident.

Clearly Grojeans fault.

It was Michael's fault, he could never accept defeat. Montoya GAVE room, but you can clearly see that Schumacher turns away from the corner into Juan's car. He probably understeered because of late braking, just goes to show who actually had the skills under braking. The penalty was pathetic. Having watched all sorts of videos with Michael's dirty tricks in the 2000's, it's kinda fair to see that karma has come back and bit him in the ass at Mercedes, with all the tough luck and 0 achievements.

This is hardly a dirty trick, simply a mistake caused by the poor performance of Bridgestones on the first lap, and you never give a position up, but agreed it's certainly not a drive through for JPM

[andrewf1]

fair points, i agree. especially the pole in monaco was impressive. his skill as a racing driver will never be in doubt, just his tactics and sportsmanship.

[HOMEOFFORMOULA198]

I agree to what you say about the incident,but a pole in monaco and a podium in valencia in a mercedes gp is not 0 achievements being 41 years old i think

Please don't bring Senna into this, the last thing we need is another Schumi/Senna debate.

FIA was too lenient to MS many a times..... JPM was fun to watch though he did not have the temperament to be a world champion.

MS is the most successful of all time, but Senna would always be the most talented.
