I don't believe that matters if the person being overtaken (Kimi) has gone off, as he did. He alluded to oil in the post race press conference but he was so obviously disappointed that he was sort of mumbling. Besides, I was still jumping up and down around my living room so I wasn't really paying attention to him.

I'd love to be in Maranello right now.

Hi Gura:

Here's a more authoritative answer to your question, found on www.formula1.com

Cheers!

Following thorough investigations into Michael Schumacher's pass on Kimi Raikkonen to win today's French Grand Prix, the stewards of the meeting have decided not to take any further action.

A statement released at Magny-Cours read: "The stewards of the meeting received a report from the race director which stated that the driver of car number 1 (Michael Schumacher) overtook the driver of car number 4 (Kimi Raikkonen) whilst yellow flags were being shown for the incident involving car number 25 (Allan McNish) at Turn 5.

"Both drivers and their team representatives were summoned. Having heard the explanations of the drivers and their representatives, having viewed video evidence and examined relevant sector times, the stewards decide that no further action is deemed necessary.

"The competitor is reminded of its right to appeal."

I'd have loved to be in Maranello earlier today.
