JV leads the assult
Jacques Villeneuve has had his clashes with Michael Schumacher before (Jerez in 997 comes to mind). But he has taken the attack to Schumi over his 'mistake' at Rascasse corner that ultimately ended up in him stalling his car on the outside of the corner.
JV told reporters “I hope it was deliberate, because if that was a mistake he should not even have an F1 super licence, If you can make a mistake like that, you shouldn't drive a race car.
There’s no way you could make a mistake like that. It’s the kind of thing I couldn't dream of doing myself. I don't know what goes through your mind when you decide to do that, when you know that the rest of the world can see.
I don't understand it, it's stupid. He didn't need to do that, he's a seven-times world champion, he was on pole position. Why do that? It’s only going to make him look bad.
This is embarrassing. Embarrassing for a world champion. It would even be embarrassing for Ide.”
Harsh words from the French Canadian, classing the 7 times world champion alongside the now no longer super licensed Yuji Ide as harsh as it could possibly get.
Even Kimi has said "I don’t believe that he really had any problems", this from the driver that says nothing.
We shall see in the morning if the drivers and teams are correct in their thinking when the stewards announce their decision.

The stewards have announced their decision - MS stopped deliberately and will be stripped of all his qualifying times and have to start at the back.
