| Montoya to blame | |
| The first
corner of the European Grand Prix would see Juan Pablo Montoya lock up his
tyres while turning into the corner. The only problem been that it would be
team-mate Ralf Schumacher who was alongside the Colombian and he would see
Juan Pablo make contact with the right rear tyre of his FW26. This would spin Ralf around and he would then involve Toyota's Cristiano Da Matta. Both Ralf and Cristiano would retire on the spot. Da Matta was to feel that his retirement was caused by Ralf. Da Matta spoke of his part in the incident by saying: "The worst thing that can happen to you when you come to a race is not race - and that's what happened. I don't understand what happened there because Ralf just sharply turned left and took me off." Ralf was later lay the blame
for his retirement firmly on Juan Pablo's shoulders. |
