Alonso involved in Schu penalty
One of the cars Schumacher passed illegally during Saturday practice was none other than the reigning world champion, who is locked in battle for 2006 honours with the 37-year-old.
Given Alonso's existing two-second penalty, it is suggested that the Spaniard deliberately slowed his Renault to tempt Schumacher to pass, knowing that doing so would cost him a date with the stewards.
Everyone in a red uniform chose their words very carefully on Saturday afternoon, including Ferrari boss Jean Todt who said 'everyone can draw their own conclusions'.
Ross Brawn added: ''I leave it to you to decide if the penalty is fair.'' Speaking to reporters, Schumacher, too, implored interested analysts to 'look at the video'.
''The pictures speak a clearer language,'' he added.
Pressed for why reporters should dash off to watch a replay, Schumacher added: ''What I said is not difficult to understand; look at the video and form an opinion.''
