Michael Schumacher will lose ten places on the Belgian GP grid after he was penalised by the Hungarian stewards.
Fighting with Rubens Barrichello for the the final points-paying position in Budapest, Schumacher came close to causing a massive accident when he squeezed Barrichello, almost putting him into the wall.
The Williams driver was, naturally, rather angry with his former team-mate's actions.
"Take a line and stick to a line," he said in respect to the fact that Schumacher had actually moved across the track after checking his rearview mirrors to block him.
"He's taking something from the past into the present and there's no need for that. It was the most dangerous manoeuvre against me I have ever known."
The German, though, didn't really see what the big deal was, saying Barrichello could have moved to the other side of him.
"As a driver, you have the ability to change the line once. That's what I was driving to," he told BBC.
"Obviously there was space enough to go through [because he did]. We didn't touch, so I guess I just left enough space for him to come through.
"I'm known not to give presents on the track. If you want to pass me you have to fight for it, and so it was."
However, the Hungarian race stewards did not agree with Schumacher, penalising the Mercedes GP driver for "illegitimately impeded car 9 during an overtaking manoeuvre."
They handed him a ten-grid slot penalty for the next race, which is the Belgian GP on 29th August.
Schumacher later said: "It was a hard fight, and this is what we are here for, but I accept that the FIA stewards saw it as too hard."
