20s penalty for Schumacher

NEWS STORY
16/05/2010

Michael Schumacher has been given a 20s penalty for the move he made on Fernando Alonso in the final corner of today's Monaco GP. Therefore the German is demoted to 12th place.

In a controversial move the German passed Fernando Alonso at Rascasse moments after the Safety Car had pulled into the pitlane.

Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali later argued that the German had broken the rules in passing his driver while Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn - armed with various forms of 'evidence' - insisted that Schumacher was in the right.

However, the Race Stewards - who included Schumacher's former rival Damon Hill - deemed that the German had contravened rule 40.13, which states that "if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pitlane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking".

Consequently, Schumacher was handed the penalty which means that Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi is promoted into the final point scoring position.
