Schumi says Alonso and Lewis blocked him
27 March, 2010
Mar.27 (YF1) In an photo captured by Sutton Images photographer Mercedes’ Michael Schumacher speaks with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso immediately after qualifying in parc ferme for the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne.
Schumacher stooped to engage in conversation in parc ferme with Alonso, before the Ferrari driver had even got out of his red cockpit.
The German later admitted he had also visited Charlie Whiting to complain about being blocked not only by Alonso but also McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton.
He said after qualifying, “We had a reasonable qualifying session today and I am ok with the outcome even if I was a bit handicapped by traffic, especially on my final quick lap.”
The seven time world champion told Autosport, “In a way it is difficult because he was on his in-lap, and he was worrying about other things than maybe watching the mirror. But saying that, we had this chat yesterday in the drivers’ briefing that this should be taken care of, and actually he was one of the main guys asking about it. I wanted to know if the team had told him or not.”
Meanwhile Pedro de la Rosa was reprimanded by stewards for impeding in practice, and Tonio Liuzzi said after qualifying that de la Rosa and Nico Hulkenberg didn’t “seem to be able to use their rear view mirrors”. De la Rosa told the media that F1 mirrors are located too far from the driver.

I heard that Alonso blocked Schumi. So he ask Alonso if the ferrari team told him that he was coming. I think it was the last lap during Q3 when Alonso was coming back to the pits.
