i can see hamilton asserting himself against any swoopy moves in the braking zones/at 200mph to put other people on the grass made by Schumacher. He is obviously the most likely current driver to do that to Schuey... I guess Alonso doesn't need to prove a point... I don't know what Vettel/Webber/Rosberg/Massa would do. Hamilton is the most aggressive race of the current crop, so I think any conflict will be with him.
...or Kobayashi.F1 Monaco Grand Prix: Michael Schumacher on receiving end of Damon Hill decision
It was almost inevitable. As soon as Damon Hill was announced last week as one of four stewards for Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix, there was perhaps always going to be a controversial decision involving his old nemesis Michael Schumacher.

Sure enough, 16 years after losing the 1994 championship by a single point to the German after the pair tangled in Adelaide, Hill had the opportunity to exact some small measure of revenge.
Schumacher had passed Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on the last corner of the race following the departure of a safety car and crossed the line sixth, prompting a stewards' inquiry because rule 40.13 states that "if the race ends whilst the safety car is deployed it will enter the pit-lane at the end of the last lap and the cars will take the chequered flag as normal without overtaking".
The German was confident he would escape sanction, telling reporters that he had received a message saying "Safety car in. Track clear".
"If that's given then its racing," Schumacher argued. "You can have the message 'safety car and finish under safety car rule', it's a different message."
However, the stewards found against the German, who was handed a 20-second penalty dropping him to 12th and out of the points. Mercedes are appealing against the decision.
Hill said later that his only concern had been that "the right thing" was done.
But the 1996 world champion admitted that there was a wry smile from Schumacher when he saw Hill as he entered the stewards' room.

I bet there was a smile ! Shoulda done his homework over who was that weekends steward shouldn't he ! I can't decide in my mind if schu shoulkda got the points or not, the safety car was in, so really the race was on as the green flags were out, but apparently the rule is the safety car goes into the pit lane and they all hold station over the start and finish line.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formul...

I really thought he'd be clain in his comeback - nothing to prove and all that. It seems if you're born a cheating , you're always a cheating .
Still, nothing more fun than watching an over-rated bad loser, lose.
So I guess you were born whinging about Schumacher then.Still, nothing more fun than watching an over-rated bad loser, lose.
As a long time Schumacher fan, I can say his driving today was horrible. Pushing Kubica wide after the pit was acceptable and we've seen it from many other drivers with no complaints. Their moment going into corner 3 I think seemed fair enough in my eyes, Schumacher had the racing line and about half a cars length and no reason to let Kubica by. It was at the end where things started to get worse very rapidly. Once his tyres dropped off (why Brawn thought it was a good idea to run for around 30 laps of this circuit on soft tyrres remains a mystery to me) he began to get frustrated and was stopping at nothing to keep cars behind him, very bad sporting conduct.
