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 compromise 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. Vitantonio "Tonio" Liuzzi (born 6 August 1981 in Locorotondo) is an Italian Formula One test driver for the Force 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.

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. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. 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 decision. Jean Todt (b February 25 1946 Pierrefort, France) is the executive director of Scuderia Ferrari, the Ferrari company's Formula One [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]
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 times and dropped five places on the grid. Giancarlo Fisichella (born January 14, 1973 in Rome, Italy) also known as Fisico or Fisi, is an Italian racing David Marshall Coulthard, often called DC, (born 27 March 1971 in Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire) is a British Formula One racing driver Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest [15]

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. Early career Mark Webber was born in Queanbeyan, New South Wales, son of Alan the local Motorcycle dealer Kimi-Matias Räikkönen (ˈkimi ˈmɑtiɑs ˈræikkønen born October 17, 1979 in Espoo) is a Finnish Formula One race car driver currently Fernando Alonso Díaz (born July 29, 1981 in Oviedo, Spain) is a Spanish Formula One racing driver and a two-time 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.

Midland F1 Racing (often shortened to MF1 Racing) was a Formula One constructor and racing team 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 scheduled 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. Finland, officially the Republic of Finland ( is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. 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.

Rubens Gonçalves Barrichello (born May 23 1972 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian Formula One racing driver currently driving for 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. In Motorsport, a safety car or pace car is a car which limits the speed of competing cars on a racetrack in the case of a caution period such 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. Rubens Gonçalves Barrichello (born May 23 1972 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian Formula One racing driver currently driving for By lap 57, Alonso had a commanding lead, as he had made a gap of over 15 seconds to Montoya.

Jarno Trulli (born July 13[[ 974]] age) is an Italian Formula One Auto racing driver currently driving for the Toyota team Barrichello came back in fifth place.
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.

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 1994 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on November 13 1994 at the Adelaide Street Circuit. The 1997 European Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on October 26 1997 at the Circuito Permanente de Jerez, Spain 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.

He thus started from 9th position. [15]
- †: Felipe Massa didn't set a qualifying time as his car was unfit to race after he damaged it during the first knock-out phase.
- ‡: Michael Schumacher set a time of 1:13. 898, however, during the final lap of qualifying, Schumacher came to a stop at the La Rascasse hairpin, resulting in a yellow flag, meaning that other drivers could not go at maximum speed. After the session there was immediate complaint from the other teams that this has been a deliberate move by Ferrari to ensure Schumacher started in pole position, since Alonso had been on pace to beat his time. Although Schumacher insisted he had simply made an error, a stewards' inquiry resulted in his qualifying times being deleted. As a result, Schumacher opted to start from the pitlane. [13]
