Schumacher under fire for actions

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER yesterday emerged from a fiery meeting of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association with his role as a director intact.

Schumacher was forced to explain his actions in the dying moments of qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix two weeks ago when he parked his Ferrari in the middle of the Monte Carlo circuit.

Before the half-hour meeting at Silverstone the seven-times world champion had come under fire from many quarters, in particular after stating the incident was down to nothing more than a simple error.
