On this day back in 2010, a Michael Schumacher move on Fernando Alonso caused major debate and an FIA rules review at Monaco!
Sixteen years ago today, Mark Webber won the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix, a race overshadowed by controversial incidents. Michael Schumacher’s daring move on Fernando Alonso led to a divisive penalty and a review of safety car rules by the FIA. Despite multiple safety car periods, Webber maintained his lead from start to finish, securing Red Bull’s first Monaco victory. Early retirements, including Jenson Button’s overheating McLaren and Nico Hülkenberg’s tunnel crash, added to the chaos. More drama followed with Rubens Barrichello hitting a drain cover and Jarno Trulli’s airborne Lotus over Karun Chandhok’s car. Alonso’s impressive recovery from a pit-lane start to sixth place ahead of Schumacher showcased his strategic skills amidst the race’s turmoil.
