With Michael talking the pole position @ today’s qualify @ Monaco comes the controversy of his last-minute mistake at the Rascasse turn, which meant the Ferrari got in the way of a flying lap by Alonso which, judging from its two previous sector times, would have been good enough for pole. If he is found guilty he would lose his time and pole position resulting in Ferrari talking the last 2 posts in the grid for tomorrow’s race (The other Ferrari driver, Massa ended up with an accident on the qualifying round 1).

At the press conference after the qualifying round, I felt Schumi was feeling guilty and didn’t have a proper explanation to give. He said he tried to negotiate the curve but later couldn’t and then thought of backing-up the car and continue back into the race. He decided to avoid thinking about the traffic coming behind him and then his car stalled. Come on Schumi you are the best. U have proved again and again to the world that you are one of best. Don’t give them a chance to complain that U played it cheap. Excited to watch U drive like crazy on the streets of Monaco and prove once and all to Renault team that u are the best.

Condolences to the Michelin team, Mr. Edouard Michelin, the company’s co-Managing Partner died in a freak accident.
