[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 50389, member: 20"] [07/03/05 - 15:05] 'Rambo' Schumacher under fire for Heidfeld crash Not a good start for the Ferrari driver Who is to blame? Or is it just a race incident? Germany's seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is usually the darling of the domestic media but he was in the firing line after clashing with compatriot and BMW Williams driver Nick Heidfeld in the Melbourne Grand Prix on Sunday. With 15 laps until the chequered flag Ferrari ace Schumacher, 36, refused to allow countryman Heidfeld to pass and the pair collided before spinning off onto the grass. "Rambo Schumi," headlined Bild daily. "Heidfeld was quicker but Schumi just edged him onto the grass. Then he offered no apology." Schumacher insisted neither driver was to blame claiming it was just part and parcel of motor racing. "I saw him behind me just as I came out the pits and made it clear I was going to defend my position," said Schumacher. "It is optimistic of Nick to think I am going to just let him pass inside me." But the win-at-all-costs attitude of the Ferrari driver prompted Bild to ask: "Is Schumacher really that bad of a loser?" Bild, Germany's most popular tabloid, was not alone in asking questions about the behaviour of the former Benetton driver. "Schumacher on the stocks," read Sport 1. "His actions crown a miserable weekend." "Relaxed Schumi has no conscience," added the Frankfurter Allgemeine. Formula One chiefs have confirmed that no action will be taken against Schumacher or Heidfeld after watching television replays of the incident. Source AFP [/QUOTE]
