 Schumacher Will Not Face Fine for Japan Party Wednesday October 15th, 2003
Schumacher, along with brother Ralf and Toyota driver Olivier Panis, went on the rampage throwing a fridge and television out of a window as the champagne celebrations ran well into the night. But any thoughts of Ferrari punishing Schumacher for his antics were ruled out when a team spokesperson said: "Definitely not." A Formula One source said that Schumacher's alcohol-fuelled behaviour could not be compared to footballers, who have in the past been fined wages after incidents while out drinking. "It was a guy who has just won his sixth World Championship and was having fun with his friends," the source said. "It is nothing like football, we don't have people cheating and diving and things like that. "I don't think Michael and Panis and everyone else had a problem they were just having fun. I've never heard of the kind of behaviour of London footballers in motor racing, it is not the same situation."
