A 10-place grid for Spa is totally inadequate, but it may be all the Race Stewards can do. If so, they should have referred it to the WMSC for consideration.
Personally I would have given him a 3-race ban because he has made so many moves like that over the years, and this one was potentially very dangerous, that a marker has to be put down. As a seven-times WDC he is supposed to be setting an example to younger drivers.
Just yesterday there was a British F3 race at Spa where the leader showed massive reluctance to be overtaken. There were three incidents at the end of the Kemmel straight, where the drivers are braking for Les Combes.
One driver got by putting two wheels on the grass, another managed it after several laps of frustration and the third was simply driven into, which saw the guilty party end up in the barriers.
If these younger drivers see Schumacher driving as he does, what are they supposed to think?
