F1 World slams latest Schumacher's non-sporting move

Bookmark and Share Michael Schumacher has shown in various occasions in the past that he can't tolerate defeat and he tried persistently to take out of the race in any possible way his strong competitors especially when it was a matter of championship decision. Start was made in Adelaide in 1995 when he crashed with Damon Hill, and he repeated a similar move on 1997 against Jacques Villeneuve at the Jerez de la Frontera. Although Schumacher was penalised by the FIA by losing all his championship points he never admitted but recently his illegal move. In 2004 he had another controversial crash with Juan Pablo Montoya at Imola and then he excused himself by stating that had no vision of Montoya's car.

David Coulthard was another driver, that Schumacher tried to stop overtake him by breaking the sporting rules of fair play.
However, his latest move against his ex team-mate Rubens Barichello could had been the most lethal one as he tried to push him in the pit wall while driving at around 200 Kmph. Fortunately nobody was hurt and Barichello made the pass to Schumacher unharmed. Yet, Schumacher for one more time he did everything that was possible to avoid a faster car to overtake him and lose 1 championship point although he is found far in the middle of the standings. Many might support his moves as pure racing incidents but when competition threats lives then it is not competition at all.
