In the end, Schumacher's actions were deemed "deliberate" and was demoted to the back of the grid as punishment for his actions; promoting Alonso from second to pole position and Mark Webber from third to second.

This makes me quite confident and positive that we will have a good weekend" he said.^[10] Anthony Davidson had dislodged a marker stick in the "Swimming Pool" to cause the red flag at the start of the session. After the restart, Davidson got his entry to the "Ste Devote" corner wrong and understeered into the tyre wall, removing the Honda’s front wing and left front wheel.^[11] Understeer is a term for a car handling condition during cornering in which the circular path of the vehicles motion is of a markedly greater diameter than the circle indicated by the direction its wheels are pointed. ...

Qualifying

1st session

Conditions were warm and sunny for the qualifying session for the race the following day, perhaps the biggest challenge for the drivers was getting a "clear track", meaning the drivers wanted a qualifying run without any cars in their way as this can seriously comprimise a driver's time with the lack of width around the track so there was a possibility of a "big-name" going out before the top ten shootout. Vitantonio Liuzzi was the first driver to set a time in the session. By the time everyone, except Michael Schumacher, had set a time, Felipe Massa lost control of his Ferrari at Casino Square; so the Brazilian would start from the back of the grid and the session was red flagged. The session restarted at 1:10pm local time and Schumacher did set a time and was safely through to the second phase. Scott Speed had a decent chance of qualifying for the second session but and error at the chicane mean he was eliminated from qualifying. Rubens Barrichello made a last ditch effort to get out of the elimination zone and did as he moved up to eighth. In the end: Michael Schumacher was fastest in the first session and Christijan Albers, Tiago Monteiro, Franck Montagny and Felipe Massa were eliminated.

So the 2005 pole position man, Kimi Räikkönen, was fastest with Fernando Alonso closley behind. David Coulthard was the surprise addition to the final session in his Red Bull.

Top 10 shootout

The final qualifying session was overshadowed by Michael Schumacher's actions in the dying moments of the session as his rival, Fernando Alonso, was on a flying lap and was, at sector two, over two tenths of a second faster than the German. However, Schumacher stopped his car in the Rascasse corner after entering the corner too close to the inside barrier and had to take a late apex and compromised Alonso's lap. When asked about the incident, Schumacher responded by saying that he "locked up the front and went wide."^[12] The consensus in the paddock was that it was a deliberate act and the issue was raised with the race stewards. The stewards agreed and punished Schumacher by sending him to the back of the grid, alongside his teammate, making this the first time ever in the history of the sport that two Ferrari team cars would start a race on the back row. Ferrari's Managerial Director, Jean Todt, said that he was "disgusted" by the descision.^[13] Steward Joaquin Verdegay commented, "He performed some absolutely unnecessary and pathetic counter-steering, and that lasted five metres, until there was no more chances of going through the turn normally. He lost control of the car while travelling at 16km/h. That's something completely unjustifiable."^[14] Look up apex in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Jean Todt at Spanish GP 2001. ...

Schumacher wasn't the only driver to be punished in qualifying, Giancarlo Fisichella was also punished by the stewards for blocking David Coulthard from improving his time and the Italian lost his three fastest lap time and dropped six places on the grid.^[15] Giancarlo Fisichella (born January 14, 1973 in Rome), also known as Fisico or Fisi, is an Italian Formula One racing driver. ...

The Race

With Schumacher starting from the back of the grid and Mark Webber between himself and his closest rival, Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso was in a good position. Like the qualifying session the day before, the sun was out and was most certainly staying out for the entire race. Coming into first corner, Alonso lead the Williams of Webber and the two McLarens of Räikkönen and Montoya, nearly all 22 cars escaped the first corner unscathed, only Tiago Monteiro had picked up a problem, losing his front wing after a minor collision by his teammate, Christijan Albers. By the end of lap one, Michael Schumacher had already passed Takuma Sato after starting the race from the pit lane and Alonso lead the race by 8 tenths of a second from Mark Webber. The Australian ran wide at St Devote and was overtaken by Räikkönen at Casino Square during lap two and was now catching Alonso by setting the fastest lap and by lap four Räikkönen had Alonso in his sight.

In the mid-field, Schumacher was up in 16th place and was right behind the Honda of Jenson Button, but he would not get past Button until the 21st lap where overtook the Briton in the Chicane. By lap 14, the leaders had already caught up with the backmarkers of the two Super Aguris and Monterio's Midland. Albers was given a stop-and-go penalty on lap 18 for causing an avoidable collision with his teammate and took his penalty a lap later. By lap 21, the first round of pit stops had begun, Tiago Monteiro, who had already been into the pits, was the first driver to make a schedueled stop. Räikkönen was the first of the top three drivers to pit, which was on lap 22. Alonso pitted from the lead two laps later, leaving Mark Webber in the race lead. After a fast in-lap, Webber pitted from the lead and had the potential to come out ahead of Räikkönen. But he didn't manage to come out in front of the Finnish driver and retained his position. By lap 34, Schumacher was up in 13th position, behind David Coulthard, but two laps later Schumacher came in for his first stop of the race and with a stop of 9.1 seconds, was fueled until the end of the race.

By lap 46, Rubens Barrichello, who had been off pace for the entire race, pitted in for his first and only stop of the race. Webber was having a good race for Williams that afternoon, but it was to be cut short due to an exhaust failure; as the Australian completed his 46th lap, smoke started to appear at the back of his car and blew up in flames at the exit of the pit lane. The Safety Car was deployed so marshals could get Webber's Williams off track so the rest of the field could resume racing without running into the immobile Williams. The entire field took advantage of the safety car period and pitted a lap later for new tires and fuel. About two laps under the safety car, Räikkönen had bad luck as well as a heat shield, which caught fire before in the first practice session, caught fire again, burning through the car's wiring and, judging by the on-board footage, cutting off the electricity to the engine; Räikkönen parked his McLaren at the exit of the Portier turn.

With the safety car coming back into the pits, Alonso restarted in first place with Juan Pablo Montoya right behind him and Rubens Barrichello was third; Coulthard and Schumacher were in the points as well. By lap 57, Alonso had a commanding lead, as he had made a gap of over 15 seconds to Montoya. Christian Klien retired a lap later promoting his teammate, David Coulthard to fifth and Michael Schumacher up to sixth. Jacques Villeneuve got a drive through penalty on lap 59 because he overtook under safety car conditions.

With a podium almost certain for Trulli, his Toyota team were pleased with the new car's performance but, on lap 72, the Italian had a hydraulic failure that shut the car down on the way up to the Casino, promoting Coulthard to third and was now on course to take Red Bull's first podium and ironically moving Trulli's teammate, Ralf Schumacher, who had a very quiet Grand Prix, up into the points. By lap 75 and only a few laps to go, Michael Schumacher had closed right up on his old Ferrari teammate, Rubens Barrichello but despite a number of attempts, Schumacher failed to get passed the Honda and finished fifth.

Aftermath

Schumacher's actions in the qualifying session would serve as ammunition for Schumacher's critics to go along with his actions in the 1994 Australian Grand Prix and the 1997 European Grand Prix, although to this day Schumacher himself denies any of the allegations that he "parked" his Ferrari on purpose to block Fernando Alonso from taking pole position off him. The Grand Prix was also the last time that Juan Pablo Montoya stepped onto a Formula One podium as well as Red Bull Racing's first podium finish.
