The cheating barsteward got his just desserts this evening after being denied pole position at Monaco. The stewards decided he deliberately stopped on the track on the final corner to deny Alonso a crack at pole position in the dying seconds of qualifying.

This incredible turn up means BOTH Ferraris will be on the back row of the grid :-lmao - Massa crashed in the first 15 minute session and was immediately eliminated.

Full report:

Watched it, and I don't think he did anything wrong... the car was sliding after a lock-up what did they expect him to do crash into the barrier to get out the way? All the cars passed at speed and I didn't see a yellow flag. The commentators confirmed that!

They have tried everything to stop Ferrari, changing the rules and all. This may be the last straw.

Schumi has no chance from the back at Monaco so he may as well not race.

The rules have spoiled F1 (IMO) most of the races this season have been won in the pit lane.

Alonso is great driver, but head to head in the same car I know who I'd pick!

That's me down in the fantasy league again - :-rofl2

Quite right too, the guy is a brilliant driver and does not have to lie and cheat like that. I have never forgiven him for denying Damon Hill the championship in was it 94? by deliberately driving into him.
