Michael upsets Ralf and Rubens

Michael Schumacher has been coming in for some stick from his brother and his Ferrari team mate after his adventures on the last lap of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Ralf Schumacher labelled his brother "crazy" after a move which Ralf said could have killed both of them. The World Champion pulled alongside his brother's Toyota at high speed on the run to the chequered flag in Monaco, just missing out on taking sixth position. Ralf was forced to jink away from his brother's car to avoid an accident and was angry that Michael forced his way up a piece of road that was not wide enough.

"Another millimetre and one of us could have been dead," Ralf said.

Schumacher was also in trouble with Barrichello who was unhappy about a last lap move at the chicane when Michael forced his way down the inside. Barrichello said that he had to move over to avoid a crash.

Michael it should be remembered was forced to apologise to Nick Heidfeld earlier this year after what the other drivers all judged to be a dangerous move in Melbourne.
