Schumacher's move on Barrichello...

[snags]

Legitimate racing move or not?

Lucky for Rubens the pit wall ended where it did...

snags I don't think it was dangerous because I think they "stage" all these incidents.

[snags]

Go back to telling bad jokes...

what reputation would that be, Eddie... to me it just confirms his reputation as a loose cannon.

However, McMouse has a point, in reverse. In a sport in which everything is seen as staged, it's useful for promotional purposes to feature someone who's clearly a mad dog who will kill other drivers.

The move by Schumacher was perfectly understandable.

He spent six years certain in the knowledge that Barrichello would never attempt to overtake him (the same privilege that Alonso is now being afforded with his “team mate” Massa).

Schuey had obviously forgotten that he and Ruebino were no longer driving Ferraris and did not expect the Brazilian's audacious move.

The penalty he subsequently received is outrageous and I fully expect it to be reversed on appeal and the race awarded to him.

Judge. Do you work for FIA?

Schumacher should have been disqualified from the race and banned for the rest of the season, if not for life.

He did a similar thing to Adrian Sutil on lap 33 at Silverstone 3 weeks ago. Schumacher came out of the pits after a stop and Adrian Sutil was attempting to overtake him when he forced Sutil onto the grass.

Add to that he wiped out Damon Hill in 1994 to stop Hill winning the F1 title. He also lost all his points when he did the same thing on Jacques Villeneuve in 1997 in an attempt to stop him winning the title, and finally when he crashed his car "accidentally" at Monaco in 2006 to prevent Alonso taking pole position.

The man should have been banned from F1 for life long ago.

And this is the man who claims he can win the tilte in 2011. I suppose he can if he blows everyone else off the track.

schumacher is a mobile chicane, anyone that tries to overtake him is treated to his unsportsmanship driving, good at the 10 place drop, lets hope he quite by the end of the year.

[cazzz1975]

quits! not quite..

[snags]

''lets hope he quite by the end of the year''

And is replaced by Kimi Raikkonen. Boring character I know but no one drives Spa better than him in recent years and I'd be happy to see his return just for that race...

[ChuckFickens]

Spa is an awesome track, the eau rouge/raidillon section is the best part of any F1 track IMO (laguna seca's corkscrew is even better, but sadly laguna seca isn't a f1 track (that would be worth watching though!))

[cazzz1975]

the pile up at the first corner in spa is always worth a look..

[McMouse]

"McMouse and ummm, stop commenting on something you know nowt about you brainless pair of n0bs! "

Well R1Geezer has really raised the bar here. If qualification for commenting on an AB thread requires knowledge...........then I suppose R1G will be on the missing list for years.

[snags]

''the eau rouge/raidillon section is the best part of any F1 track IMO''

Aye... Suzuka's 130R must be a blast to drive too...

I see Schumacher has said he's sorry.

But it's a Tony Blair apology - not 'I'm sorry I did it' but 'I'm sorry if he mistakenly thought I did it.'

When / if , he has a competitive car next season - then we will see if he is passed it or not .

I feel sorry for Rubens ( apart from the Brawn team , when it was ) he has never had the breaks , to become world champion .

Such a nice chap

[ELVIS68]

What else do you expect from a German?...Okay..overtake me?...Nein!!!!!

[snags]

Apparently the Race Stewards wanted to Black Flag (disqualify) Shuey after the incident, but by the time they had looked at the video evidence, the Black Flag time limit deadline had expired...
