Now Luca Montezemolo has pitched his two cents into the fray in defense of newly soiled driver: <blockquote>His statements have angered Ferrari President Montzemolo, who told the Gazzetta Dello Sport newspaper that "regardless of the type of justice, either sporting or otherwise, I don't like a guilty verdict that is based on presumptions."</blockquote> <blockquote>He also accused the stewards of tampering with this year's race for the Championship. "I especially do not like the fact that with a verdict such as this one, it can heavily influence the outcome of the World Championship," he fumed.</blockquote> Hey Luca, don't blame the Stewards for a decision you don't agree with, blame your driver for putting you, the team and himself in the position to have to now make excuses and blame others for Scumi's inadequacy's.

His statements have angered Ferrari President Montzemolo, who told the Gazzetta Dello Sport newspaper that “regardless of the type of justice, either sporting or otherwise, I don’t like a guilty verdict that is based on presumptions.”

He also accused the stewards of tampering with this year’s race for the Championship. “I especially do not like the fact that with a verdict such as this one, it can heavily influence the outcome of the World Championship,” he fumed.

Hey Luca, don’t blame the Stewards for a decision you don’t agree with, blame your driver for putting you, the team and himself in the position to have to now make excuses and blame others for Scumi’s inadequacy’s.

Who's to say he didn't miss his breaking point by as little as a meter and that caused the brake lock-up.

Michael had pole in his pocket and screwed the pooch on his last lap and started fifth. He is capable of making mistakes, at Monaco it's just more critical not to make the big ones. I can't throw him under the bus on this one, at the least I prefer not to believe he could stoop to such tactics. Does anyone remember Qualifying at Imola last year?

If it was actually legitimate though, it's too bad. Trying to look after everyone else's safety and getting popped to the back. But, it did look a little on the obvious side.

Read the update. The stewards ruled his prank was intentional and placed him shotgun on the field. He'll be damn lucky to leave the Principality with a single point. BTW, congrats, you're the first commentor I have ever noted from Kuwait. I've spent many hours anchored in the harbour there and a few walking thru the markets in town.
