Montoya is reall classless ... he was concered about the 40 mph bump he got tring to pass Schumacher in the first turn and forgot about putting his team mate into thgrass at 140 mph

he's short and classless and a complete contrast to the ever gracious and poised Schumacher who drove another masterful race

Don't drink the kool-aid. Schumacher has made HIS share of snide, snotty comments when he's finished badly or bombed-out of races too. They don't come across well in the English-speaking media (unless it's a live comment at a race) but I have German-speaking friends who've read/heard native-language interviews and they say he's as poor-mouthed as the rest of them.

Also, many (national) Germans frown upon his antics/waving/laughing/pointing during their national anthem while the 2nd and 3rd finishers by-and-large stand quietly/respectfully for BOTH anthems (but, thanks to German nazionalism, this never 'makes the papers'). Italians have noticed it during the constructor's anthem too and I've heard a rumor that Ferrari has gigged him a couple of times about this.

I didn't know there was an F1 contingent on FR.

Well, I have to say, Schumacher's skills aside, he did force JPM off in the corner. The stewards let it slide because of who he is and the race being in Italy. The mistake JPM made was not taking him out, he could have held along side his rear wheel, so when he went wide, he would have spin. JPM won't make the same mistake again, he's going to start going after Schumacher in the upcoming races.

F1 is due for a big shakeup. The tracks mostly stink, no opportunity for passing at many of the races. TV ratings in europe, even italy, are down. a stop and go for schumacher would have made this race more interesting, and sent the message that the drivers can't stop what little passing there is through these moves.
