Michael Schumacher and the other drivers in F1 met on Friday afternoon in Kuala Lumpur to discuss Grand Prix Drivers Association matters and at the end of the meeting we hear that the subject of Michael Schumacher's accident with Nick Heidfeld in Melbourne came up. The discussions were felt to be necessary because the drivers have a gentleman's agreement about not moving over on one another in the braking zone in order to avoid unnecessary incidents. Michael was eventually convinced that he had broken the deal and he apologised to his fellow drivers.
