Schumy is a back marker holding up people like Button.
Button the half world champion in a superior car that couldnt pass the 7 time world champ.

So far on the track (not in the pits) he has been outdriven and out qualified by Hamilton.

BTW.. nice little move by Shumey over Alonso on the last corner

I thought they couldn't overtake until they had crossed the start/finish, but the rules allow it, it was dirty but I liked it.

EDIT: He got penalized.

Schumacher was handed a drive-through penalty, which is converted after the race into a 20-second time penalty, dropping him from sixth to 12th in the results.

the German breached Article 40.13 of the Sporting Regulations, which states that “if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."

Mercedes will appeal the stewards' decision.

That was a pretty amazing drive by webber.
Agreed. He won it in Qualifying and only had to avoid trouble and not do anything stupid to keep it in the Race. Something he has had trouble with in the past.

Yes I do realise it was Monaco coz Jensen Button was a no show with a sock in his duc.

I was referring to the previous race when Button couldnt get pass Schumy

Cool, my mistake.

I guess the point is overtaking isn't just a matter of being a poofteenth quicker. You have to be a quite a bit quicker and a lot craftier. I think Schuey has lost the speed but none of the craftiness, as he showed on the last lap at Monaco.

I agree with ya.. craftiness is still there... maybe he just needs a competitive car to have a real go.
