He basically passed under the safety car though. It's easy to pass someone who's not currently racing you.F1 really should really think whether that's the right message to send out... was a brilliant pass

Apparently Alonso was on the radio asking if he could pass lewis on the restart, but the pit said it was against the regs... so he didn't... Brawn and Shumi forgot to have that radio converstation...

Schumi and Damon are a pretty unique case, as the rest of the drivers i've heard of on the panels are of a different generation than the current drivers.And so begins a controversy of having ex-drivers on the stewards panel.

But Schumacher pretty flatly broke a regulation that's not even remotely ambiguous.

Agreed, but they still should not have appointed somebody with an obvious and overt bias against one of the drivers he'll be judging.Schumi and Damon are a pretty unique case, as the rest of the drivers i've heard of on the panels are of a different generation than the current drivers.

The driver is just one of four people on the panel.Agreed, but they still should not have appointed somebody with an obvious and overt bias against one of the drivers he'll be judging.

There's 9 judges on the supreme court, they still are supposed to recuse themselves from certain cases though.The driver is just one of four people on the panel.

He basically passed under the safety car though. It's easy to pass someone who's not currently racing you.
The controversy is whether the race finished under safety car, or whether the safety car period was over. Because if it was the latter, then it was just like passing on a restart, with a new rule introduced for this year.
With the green lights and flags, rather than yellows and the SC sign, it could be argued that the safety car period was over.
http://www.autosport...rt.php/id/83670
The sporting rules state that, "If the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pitlane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking."
The argument, however is whether the race finished under the safety car or this came into the pits as it would normally do after a period controlling the race.
Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn reckons the race finished as normal, and therefore there should be no penalty for Schumacher.
"There's a regulation which is new this year that says you can race between safety car line one and the start/finish line," Brawn told the BBC. "The race used to finish on the start/finish line. Now I think the point Stefano [Domenicali] is raising is it says that if the race finishes under the safety car you are not allowed to do that.
"But we were advised before the end of the race that the safety car was coming in. There was no instruction that the race was going to finish under the safety car, so for us as soon as we got the instruction 'safety car in this lap' at 15:51 we considered the race was now on again.
"At 15:52 we were told the track was clear and and at 15:53 was the chequered flag. So, from the instructions we have from the FIA, the safety car was coming in on the final lap but the race wasn't finishing under the safety car and it's a very important distinction so we advised our drivers that they could still race between safety car line one and the start/finish line.
"And I think you saw the reaction of all the other drivers. If what Stefano has said was true, they would just cruise to the start/finish line because they knew they couldn't be overtaken, but everyone went for it and I'm afraid Fernando was a little asleep and we took advantage."

according to Brawn, Schumacher and Rosberg were instructed that they were back to racing for position as soon as the safety car was inApparently Alonso was on the radio asking if he could pass lewis on the restart, but the pit said it was against the regs... so he didn't... Brawn and Shumi forgot to have that radio converstation...

after the safety car went in:
if the race finished under safety car, why did they change the yellow lights to green?
In many instances radios malfunction, so drivers should only be judged according to what they can see on the track.
flashing green lights and waved green flags are also quite clearly visible in this video:
