Michael Schumache🥂r said he was disappointed with the decision to han✤d him a 20 second penalty for a late incident in the Monaco Grand Prix.

The seven-time champion was handed the penalty after stewards decided he had passed Fernando Alonso il🎉legally on the final lap of the race after the Safety Car peeled into the pits as the drivers heade💜d to the chequered flag.

The penalty saw him d𒁃rop🐽 from sixth to twelfth in the result and the German said he was disappointed with the decision taken.

"My race today would have been pretty normal without the decision of the stewards afterwarꦰd𝓀s," he said. "The start was interesting and it actually went according to plan. I managed to have a good pull-away but then I was a bit stuck and was caught by Rubens. So I had to wait for the opportunity to overtake and the team played it brilliantly. The crew was fantastic and thus the pit stop got me in front of him."

Schumacher added that he could understand why🌜 the team had elected to appea꧂l against the decision.

"The result in the very end, which put🅠 me back to twelfth place for now, was obviously disappointing for me and I can fully understand that we are appealing the decision. Our understanding was that the 'safety car in, track clear' message meant we were back to racing ඣconditions, so I went for it and overtook Fernando."
