Schumacher ejected from Monaco club
Monte Carlo, Monday: Formula One driver Michael Schumacher was thrown out of a Monaco nightclub last night after causing a disturbance at the bar, sources say.
The club, long a prestigious haunt for the Formula One community in the Principality, confirmed that a 41-year-old man had been “forcibly removed” from the premises after violating their code of conduct.
Denied: Monaco clubber Michael Schumacher
It is alleged that once the bell for last orders had been rung, Schumacher pushed his way to the front of the queue to be served drinks, jumping in front of fellow clubber Fernando Alonso. Bouncers quickly resolved the dispute by confiscating the German’s drinks and ushering him to the exit. “He didn’t seem to understand that once the bell for last orders is rung, it doesn’t make it a free-for-all,” a source from the club said. “We still have rules that need to be followed for the comfort and satisfaction of all our customers.”
Some onlookers, however, were not convinced. Bystander Arthur Gnomely told reporters: “It’s all a bit unfair if you ask me. Michael was asked by Ross Brawn to go and get some drinks at the last minute. He wasn’t to know about the rules! And Fernando was barely even in the queue, just shuffling along complaining about his shoes.
“I spotted Damon Hill having a word with the bouncers just before it all kicked off,” Gnomely continued, by now in a pointless rage. “I bet he had something to do with it.”
Meanwhile, a meeting of FOTA representatives at the same club had to be abandoned after none of them could agree on what cocktail to have. The idea of all having different cocktails apparently never occurred to them.
Absolutely briliant!
I think ejecting him was a bit harsh…perhaps just put back a few places in the queue
Apparently the confusion started when the barman called time at the bar, but rang the bell for ‘last orders’ by mistake…. lol
everything about him is ‘alright,its ok,he is a world champ’ when he was at his peak. But things turn d other way around when he is not (at d moment). Just wait when he is becoming a world champ again (i really hope)

Laughed my chuff box off.
Brilliant!
Hahaha great stuff as usual. I don’t get the last paragraph about the cocktails though, what is that referring to?
Tyres.
Hahaha I was thinking that but wasn’t sure, haven’t been keeping up with the news. Keep up the great work Red you’re a dead set genius!
Pure class!
I heard something similar a few years back. Apparently Schumacher was chatting with Ross Brawn and held up the queue for last orders so that no one else could get to the bar and get a drink before they closed up.
