Quote:
Juan Pablo Montoya was furious Michael Schumacher was not penalised for their first-lap accident.
A fuming Montoya accused race stewards of double standards following his second collision with Schumacher in two races.
The Colombian was penalised in Malaysia a fortnight ago for not giving Schumacher enough room and felt the German should have been given a similar punishment for cutting across in front of him on lap one in Brazil.
Montoya stormed: "You know, in the last race we were side-by-side into Turn 1 and his front wing got engaged with my car and they gave me a penalty.
"Now he's chopped in front of me and taken my front wing off. The minimum they can do is a drive-through penalty. The minimum... but nothing. They don't have any consistency."
Predictably, Schumacher saw it differently.
"I moved to the left in Turn 4 to stop him taking the inside, leaving him the outside and that's it. I honestly didn't feel any contact and if he's unhappy about something, I don't know why."

In alle eerlijkheid, ik vond het deze keer eerder Monty's fout dan Schumacher's. Als hij hierover begint te klagen, mag hij de videoband van Interlagos 2001 nog eens bekijken, waar Verstappen alle schuld over zich kreeg in een min of meer gelijkaardig incident. Oké dat die drivethrough te Maleisië idioot was. Maar dat is nog geen reden om Schumacher hier net dezelfde -onverdiende- straf te laten 'uitzitten'.
