when u know that there is a pit line wall then u shud not try to overtake if u dont have the courage. to complain now is baseless. i think schumi is right in all aspects. its a race & for grid postion but u can argue whole life that schumi has not been a fair driver but it it also true that he is the most successful f1 driver till now. forget abt past safety & issues like that. no one ever came close to schumi till now. tho i am a kini fan i hav lost interest in f1 cos f1 is all about refuelling & time spent on pit lane which determines the race which we today dont find to get in f1. its like everyone running behined safety car all long

i think barrichello showed courage and thats why he eventually went past schumacher. It's fine to a bit unfair till one is within the legality.The point is, when barichello was alongside, then schumacher shouldn't have come in the way. Irrespective of the concrete pitline wall, it looked strange. And thats why he is handed over penalaty

Schumacher was not fined by the stewards for nothing. He almost killed a fellow driver. He is too old to be taught on how to respect fellow sportsmen.
Schumacher has always been very ruthless....a glimpse of what we see in hamilton now....but that incidence yesterday would have cost barrichello's life because at the right side there was no tyre but concrete wall.

Seriously, there was no life risk to anyone with F1 safety standards, but thats racing, and thats why people flock to see schumi, He is the only true racer left in F1.

I dont agree with this...It is quiet natural to take wide right line of racing...that is how you discourage the guy from overtaking...This puts pressure on the guy to overtake from wide left, which is off-racing line...Please see the start of Hockenheim GP a week ago. Seb Vettel does Alonso the same thing, but Vettel has to come back to middle to stop Massa.

well probably it was not as natural...it's fine to close the angle when you are ahead. But when barrichello was almost alongside him, seeing space at the right side, schumacher started to push him to the right. That looked obnoxious.
And we may have a different opinion here, but FIA also observed it as offence and therefore penalised schumacher.
