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"
What I was trying to say with "I don't know what happened in the tunnel" is that it doesn't make sense why one wheel was blokked under braking. The surface in the tunnel in Monaco is pretty smooth and imho you could brake hard without a problem when you are on the racing line. However for some reason the left front tyre blocked which is very strange regarding the state of the surface over there. Two tyres blocked would make sence and no blocking tyres make even more sence when you brake hard in the tunnel. I personally think that Schumi was planning to do some braking to let JPM brake harder to create a gap, but that the brake on the front left tyre malfunctioned and the whole idea backfired on Schumi.

I enjoyed watching the race though
