  1. There certainly was a green flag. No disputing that. German media is suggesting that Ferrari raised the issue with the stewards during the race already and it was decided no further action was needed. It really is starting to look like Benson saw a youtube film of the overtake with a yellow light on the dash and has 'scooped' a nothing story.

  2. This development looks very promising!

     

     

    Looks like a green flag to me......

    Apparently, under some circumstances, the flag indicator on the steering wheel has precedent over the trackside flags. His dash indicator is clearly yellow the whole time and this could well be the reason there's still been no definitive response from FIA.

     

     

  3. As Loki rightly said, even his very last meaningful act in a racing car was shameful.

    Was it?

     

    Vettel was miles quicker than Schumacher (didn't he finish 12 seconds ahead of Schumacher in the end?) and Schumacher wanted to score points in his final GP. Considering the conditions and the difference in pace, it seemed sensible rather than shameful. Why risk a collision?

     

    Edit - are we saying that Massa has driven shamefully several times this year when he's let Alonso through? Or Mark Webber? Or the Toro Rosso drivers who always let Red Bull through?

    Yes, it was. I'm not denying it was legal but it was shameful. Schumacher, although most famous for being a cheating cockpot, is also very well known as being a bastard to get past, irrelevant of any speed differential. He's never rolled over like that for anyone. Even his team-mates usually have a hard time passing him, which can only mean he did it to unfairly assist a competitor's car because it was being driven by someone who learned to drive at Schumi's school of karting-kuntery.

     

    Your second point refers to team orders. No problems there.

  4. I like Schumi, but a large portion of fans have never warmed to him despite him being one of the best ever.

    For my part, it's solely down to him blatantly and repeatedly bringing the sport into disrepute. As Loki rightly said, even his very last meaningful act in a racing car was shameful.
