Formula One racing: Give us fair and stable rules please!

Another chapter in the rivalry between four-time World Champion Michael Schumacher, and upcoming star Juan Pablo Montoya, was written in Brazil, and I think the Colombian once again was the one who lost.

Not at the track, but by the application of the rules.

Now I know lots of Ferrari and Schumacher fans might be upset with me when they read this article, but I can't deny the facts from the race video I checked several times before coming to the conclusion that Schumacher should have been penalized.

Not only because he swept Montoya to the left, but because he also took his foot off the gas pedal, and hid part of the truth during the post-race press conference.

Nevertheless, it should also be noted that it was the stewards fault not to penalize Schumacher and be fair in what happened in Malaysia either.

Let me compare what both drivers said about the accident and what could be seen in the replay.

What occurred: Down the "Reta Oposta" they go, pedal to the floor. Schumacher had gained first place from Montoya in the first set of corners.

Schumacher: "It was an exciting first two corners where I have to say Juan Pablo behaved really well. He was braking so late that it was clear that he would almost miss the corner. So then I prepared for turn two, which worked actually, and he just left enough space for both of us to go thru the corners."

Montoya: "I gave Michael enough room in the first two corners."

What occurred: The Williams' car is coming quicker from the "S do Senna" turn and jumps to Schumacher's left. The Ferrari driver quickly sweeps to his left and, just by a second, pulls his gas pedal, touching Montoya's front wing on the right side with his rear-left tire.

Schumacher: "I don't actually know what happened into turn four. I moved over to the left to leave the outside free. I didn't feel anything."

Montoya: "I went to the inside and made my move before him. I was behind him and had made my move when he shut the door -- I had enough speed down the straight to pass him into the corner."

What occurred: Quickly, Montoya switches to the right, maybe thinking he will have a chance from the outside. The German again moved his car following the Williams' car switch thru the mirrors. Anyway Schumacher didn't move further when he noticed Montoya wasn't attacking thru the outside and got the ideal ratio to turn.

Schumacher: "I haven't seen the maneuver. To me, I moved over to the left to avoid him taking the inside, I left the outside open for him and that's it. I don't know what happened, I don't know what makes him [Montoya] unhappy. I didn't feel anything, I just suddenly saw him dropping back so that may explain to you what happened."

What occurred: Then Montoya's wing, which was hanging after the touch with the Ferrari, falls beneath the Williams car, forcing him to pit for a new one early in the race. On the other hand, Schumacher went on to win his second race of the season. Schumacher might not have felt the touch, but he saw Montoya moving to the right and moved in front of him, as the Williams car turned curve four in second place, and then disappeared behind the pack.

Montoya: "In Malaysia, I took his front wing -- even though I left him space and I got a penalty. This week, he shut the door in front of me like Rubens did to Ralf in Australia and I end up worse again.

All of this makes me think that it's not Schumacher the "holy cow," it's Ferrari. They never get penalized.

Only this season -- Barrichello blocks Ralf and the big-one starts in Australia, Schumacher and Montoya touch in Malaysia, Ferrari loses its wing, and Williams get penalized, and now we have this incident in Brazil.

Don't get me wrong, this is what I saw, and I think Montoya should learn to be more patient, but not at his teammate, who didn't dare overtake his big brother for 15 laps until the end of the race.

Shumacher, on the other hand, should learn to lose. It seems he just can't stand being overtaken and he pushes his car around.

So what, he probably thinks? I'm not getting penalized for it, so it must be alright!
