Browsing the ITV website I came across this rather fascinating story about an excerpt from James Allen's new book about Michael Schumacher.


Fernando Alonso planned to lie down in front of Michael Schumacher’s car on the starting grid at last year’s Monaco Grand Prix if the stewards did not penalise the German for intentionally stopping his Ferrari at Rascasse during qualifying.

The startling insight into Alonso’s character is provided by Mark Webber, who recounts a conversation with the Spaniard in James Allen’s new biography of Schumacher, Michael Schumacher: The Edge of Greatness.

That's not a serious question is it? The only real question would be whether he jumped the lights to make sure he couldn't move at the last second :laugh:

MS would have swerved to avoid the debris pick up on his tires. It's the person starting 3rd that FA should have been worried about! ;)

Isn't it about time James Allen found another subject for a book other than Schumi? First "Quest for Redemption", then "Driven to Extremes" and now "The Edge of Greatness" :crazy: :p :

Don't worry, the next one will be about Lewy and how stupid McLaren robed him of his chance of taking the F1 WDC in the first year. :D
