I don't know what happened in the tunnel (according to the worst F1 commentator ever Olav Mol, Schumi was maybe cooling down his brakes ) and we will probably never know the truth. Fact is that JPM can't be blamed this time.

Funny thing is that if you follow the FIA rules everybody (except Schumi) should have gotten a drive thru penalty for overtaking Schumi while the safety car was out. Technically MS was still driving and the rest should have stayed behind him. That would have been very funny to watch...
Well from what I saw Schumi suddenly locked up a left front, went wide then jigged back. Montoya went to inside and they collided.
Why Schumi was braking so hard in a dimly lite tunnel is anyones guess, but if he was doijng it deliberately, then he was behaving rather stupidly.
Of couse he did not derve to be punted off but it was probably due to his own actions

And I agree that technically all should have got a drive through penalty but as every one would have to drive thought the pits then we would really have a "Pit Parade"
