Well it was a pretty decent grand prix with a Williams 1-2 with Schumacher junior picking up the win and another great move Montoya put on Michael (always nice to see Schumacher get put in his place by someone who isn't afraid to overtake him and make him look average) and a great defensive display from Alonso in a very ill Renault.
But as usual, controversy is not far behind as Michael had a helping hand on his way to 5th place after somehow being the one to spin when he hit Montoya as Montie was going around the outside. Now i always thought the rule was that if a car can't move it's out the race and gets towed out the way but it seems that's not the case. Schumacher was beached in the gravel trap unable to move so i thought, that's it his second mistake of the season no points for him, but then the marshals came running over and pushed him back into the race, does the fact it was in Germany or just the fact it was Michael Schumacher make a difference or am i being a bit too cynical? Would the rules have been any different say if Montoya was the one to have been beached? Would he have been towed away instead of being allowed to carry on racing? I think so somehow.
From what Martin Brundle was saying if the car is in a dangerous position then it must be towed out the way and as he was sitting on the exit of a corner i deem that a dangerous position so why wasn't he retired? Of course Brundle himself said the rule was vague which obviously helps the officials get Schumacher out of trouble and penalise anyone else and the fact the officials were investigating Montoya for his move in the incident is laughable and well done to Brundle for saying if Montie was fined he'd pay it out of his own pocket.
Of course maybe i'm being a bit too suspicious :D
and also unlucky to Raikkonen who's engine gave up on him. Not a good day for McLaren what with Coulthard spinning out as well.
