Younger Schumacher angry at brother
Ralf Schumacher has accused older brother Michael of endangering their lives with a risky overtaking maneuver at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Michael tried to squeeze in-between the wall and his brother's Toyota in the last lap on the straight, just before the checkered flag, in Sunday's race. Ralf avoided any contact by pulling his car away from Michael's Ferrari. "It was very dangerous," Ralf Schumacher told a German television station. "It seems to be that Michael sometimes loses it. I have the feeling he sometimes switches his brain off." Ralf was also quoted in Monday's Bild newspaper. "If our tires had touched even slightly, one of us would have been gone," he said. "At least one of one would have a broken neck. I don't want that. "We are not there to endanger each other's lives. It's just frustration, because nothing is working for Michael." Michael responded to his brother's accusation by saying he wasn't on a "day trip." "My attack was absolutely justified. I am a full-blooded race driver," the seven-time Formula One world champion told Bild. At the time, Ralf was in sixth position, with Michael right behind, and they finished the race in that order. After dominating last season, Michael finds himself in the unusual also-ran
role this year. He hasn't won a race in six attempts and has finished only three
— one second place and two seventh-placed finishes.
