Didn't this happen last year at Austria too? Where Barichello moved over to let MS take 2nd place?

I don't like it either and I feel bad for Barrichello but this is no different from any other team sport. If they pass the ball to Jordan at the last minute to make a shot does everyone call BS? What if a hockey game comes to penalty shots and they send out their best shooters?

Ferrari's goal is to win the Constructors championship and right now MS is in the best position for them to do that. I am sure both MS and RB realize that, especially if you listened to MS comments after the race.

Yes it sucks for Barrichello but considering he just resigned for 2 more years he has got to realize what it means to be second to the worlds best.

It is bad for Barichello, but driving under Schumacher is not a bad place to be. It got Irvine a lead position at Jaguar.

Schumacher is the highest paid athlete in the world. He makes more then Tiger Woods. If you are going to pay a driver that much, he better be the one that crosses the finish line first no matter what the cost.

Very embarassing for Rubens.. i think Michael was cool about it in the press conference and podium, but still. Way too much politics in F1.

MS thought it was bad call

But of course he'll go take lead to win points... and then he made the right move to give Barricelo the podium spot and trophy... he got the points the team wanted and barricello got his spot... (even though it wont be written ad barricelo victory) Ms is a very good racecar drive (the best pretty much) and he knows what hes doing... and for MS to give up the trophy is a show of his profetionalism that he KNEW he was beat. < my .02

It's still early in the season, tho. Schumacher blew away the competition last season and Barrichello had done the same thing last year. It's retarded that just because they want to see it on paper that Rubens had to move over when he clearly was the better driver.

You guys have to remember though...They pay MS 55 million pounds a year for him to drive there car. They will do anything to win. Barichello was pissed but he was just signed on to another contract with Ferrari for 2 more years, so he does have to respect there desicion. MS did give RB the podium position after the race, and made RB sit in the first place position in the after race confrence. Ferrari pays these two drivers alot of money and they have to respect every desicion that Ross Braune makes. MS was upset about the outcome of the race, but he does have to secure his points over montoya. I think that Both team drivers will now be in trouble for there actions because they made Ferrari look really bad.

Look MS is the best F1 driver of his generation RB is lucky to get a spot at Ferrari + they pay him 6.5 million $ witch i might ad is not bad at all !!!
MS has a beather shot at winning the schampionship then BR.
MS has won 5 of the 6 races so far adn he finished 3 in Sepang.
RB finished 2nd in Imola and 2nd in the A1-Ring so he DNF 4 out of the 6 races witch means he can forget the championship so if you follow the logic in this MS should win it jsut gives him the chance of winning the championship sooner en so he can give RB a win back later on in the season.
I don't see the harm in this i'm sure other teams would do this to, its a sport witch includes lots of money.
Ive bin a supporter of MS since 1993 i was about 6 years old then, he will always be the best driver fore me, but in the future i'm sure Jenson Button is gonne be an F1 Champion !

In y opinion the best driver was AYRTON SENNA, I'm sure a lot of people will agree with me on that.
