'Alonso was asleep'
Fernando Alonso may claim he was ready to attack Lewis Hamilton on the final corner in Monaco, but Michael Schumacher firmly believes the Ferrari driver was "asleep".
Alonso revealed after the race that he was prepared to make a move on Hamilton once the Safety Car returned to the pits on the last lap but his team forbid him.
However, according to BBC pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz Schumacher - who was slapped with a 20-second penalty for the overtaking move - told his Mercedes team that the Spaniard was caught napping.
'I'm reliably informed Michael was on the radio on the slowing down lap telling the team how Alonso was asleep, a phrase team principal Ross Brawn repeated later in our interview at the end of the BBC One show,' Kravitz wrote on his BBC blog.
Despite his penalty in Monaco, Kravitz also believes Schumacher will happy that he proved he still has "that edge".
