I'm fed up with all the stick Ralf is getting about not passing Michael. As you said it is one thing to catch someone, it is another thing to pass him. Ralf drove a sensible race, avoided any possible trouble. But the bottom line is that the Ferrari had the pace. 
And Juan-Pablo, blaming Michael is absurd!! Michael passes him and he gets all angry, he was talking almost as if he expected a favour from Michael yeah right! Michael didn't owe him any favours. Michael is a racing driver, one not known to give favours. And also, do you ever expect to see Montoya letting someone by easily? except when being lapped after being put back 10 places for causing an avoidable incident of course! Even Patrick Head said Juan Pablo was too close, that's saying something. So overall I do agree with the Heretics opinion. ;) - Lizzie - UK (Reference Heretic 4-07 - Was Michael trying ?)

Thanks for the response, Lizzie,

I still believe that Ralf had no chance to pass his brother who was driving just fast enough to stay ahead. I do not think that Ralf is intimidated by Michael, awed maybe, but he knows that he did not have the pace. If he did, he has a lot of experience to draw on.

Montoya on the other hand is fast but needs to curb the red mist if he wants to stay ahead of either Schumacher. Regardless of who had the right he seems to forget that winning is about finishing first.
