Monaco Incident Part 2

Yesterday race stewards at the Monaco Grand Prix deemed the over taking move by Michael Schumacher on Fernando Alonso to have been a breach of racing regulations, and have penalised the German driver.

Schumacher, who finished the race in 6th position after a sneaky overtake on the final corner, has been penalised with a Stop Go penalty, which race stewards converted into a 20 second penalty after the race.

The stewards, that included Schumacher's former rival Damon Hill, sighted their argument to article 4o.13 in the sporting regulations that states "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."

The 20 second penalty drops Schumacher back into 12th place and out of a points scoring position, whilst Sebastian Buemi moves up into 10th place to pick up one world championship point for team Toro Roso.

Mercedes will likely appeal the stewards decision, with a date for the appeal being set by the FIA at a later date.
