Michael Schumacher will start next Sunday’s Monaco grand prix five places lower than he qualifies.<\/p>\n

\"Michael-Schumacher-2\"Despite the furious seven time world champion moaning “idiot” on the radio after the incident, stewards found him guilty of causing the rear-end crash with Williams’ Bruno Senna.<\/p>\n

“It was clearly Michael’s fault,” triple world champion Niki Lauda told Bild newspaper, whose headline slammed ‘Rambo Schumi’.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Senna, whose famous uncle Ayrton raced against Schumacher until his death in the mid 90s, replied: “Michael shouldn’t call me the idiot.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t crash into him.\u00a0 Yes, I braked earlier with my old tyres, but Michael should have enough experience to anticipate that.”<\/p>\n

The FIA stewards agreed, ruling that 43-year-old Schumacher must drop five places on the grid in Monaco.<\/p>\n

“That was completely Michael’s fault,” former Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari said on British radio BBC 5 Live.<\/p>\n

“He ran into the back of Senna’s car without an intention of overtaking.”<\/p>\n
