from what i've read, it's only a penalty if the a driver overtakes a driver when both have gotten clean starts. if one driver is slow off the line or stalls, it is not a penalty to overtake him, but it is a penalty to STAY in front of him. in this case, trulli was about 1 second slow coming off the line, and schumacher had plopped in front. he went at parade speeds and allowed trulli to catch up, then he pulled to the side when he felt comfortable to let trulli pass. no rules were infringed.
