From the Pulpit

What possible motives did the F1 insiders have to slam Michael Schumacher in Monaco and thereafter? Why are the drivers so anxious to beat him with a stick? And how will Schumacher react to that? Matt Bishop offers his take on the German's latest scandal

On one level, Michael Schumacher is probably dreading the British Grand Prix. He's less vocal on the subject than is his younger brother - who makes no secret of his dislike for all things British - but Michael can be pretty perfidious about Albion himself, and, after what he did at Monaco on Saturday, he's surely anticipating a pretty rowdy reception from the Silverstone crowd.

On the other hand, what Michael did at Monaco on Sunday - namely, drive as hard and as well as ever he has any time, any place, anywhere - would seem to indicate that he has decided to obliterate his disgrace in the only way he knows how: by burying it under monumental further achievement.
