MONZA, Italy -- Brazilian Rubens
Barrichello has called for Heinz-Harald Frentzen to be banned
after blaming the German driver for Sunday's fatal pileup at
the Italian Grand Prix .
A volunteer fire marshal died after being hit by debris
following a six-car collision in which Pedro de la Rosa's Arrows
car rolled over Barrichello's Ferrari.
Barrichello was hit by Frentzen's car when he braked late
at the second chicane on the first lap of the race won by his
Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher.
Afterward, waving at the damage caused to his helmet by the
accident, the Brazilian said: "He was totally responsible for
what happened and he should be suspended.
"It is completely unbelievable that he should think I was
braking early.
"I was overtaking Jarno Trulli and I was braking as late as
I could. He should not be using the car in front of him as a
reference for his braking points."
Frentzen saw the accident differently. "I tried to overtake
Barrichello but he changed line and braked unexpectedly," the
German said.
Barrichello said he had a big hole in his helmet from de la
Rosa's collision.
