7 time World Champion Michael Schumacher comes under fire from his younger brother Ralf Schumacher after that "crazy" race ending move. And if that wasn't enough, Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello wasn't short of a few words either.

As the cars crossed the line for the final time, Michael made a last minute run to overtake his brother, Toyota driver, Ralf Schumacher. This lead to the two cars almost touching, something Ralf feels lucky to get away with. "Michael should have switched his brain on before trying that move", Ralf told f1racing.net, after having to jink at 180mph to make room for his brother at the chequered flag. "He's crazy".

Fellow Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello wasn't quick to defend his team-mate after Michael pulled off a similar move on him coming out of the tunnel. "I don't want to destabilise the team but I have spoken to Michael and boss Jean Todt about it."
