At first I suspected foul play but then I saw the replay. The line through Rascas was utterly abnormal, if he had locked a wheel as suggested surely he would have entered the corner wide. I don't think 22nd is a fair punishment for that manouver though, no, he should be kicked out of the race.
I must congratulate the ITV commentators though, they managed not to shout out that this machiavellian sod had cheated but instead suggested it later.
Extract from Alessandro Zanardi's autobiography during the early 90s in F3000. Michael knocked Allessandro and fellow title competitor Angelelli off the road but took himself out aswelll on the first lap of the last race, their championships now over:
Michael realised that the race wasn't going to be stopped so he jumped in the car, parked in the middle of the track, took the steering wheel off and left. That way the race was forced to be stopped.
Schumacher won the restart but was disqualified because he changed from Volkeswagon to Opel engine handing Zanardi the European title.
16 years and hes hardly changed!
