Ah bugger!
Was looking forward to seeing Schumacher shunt a few more people off the track.

So, Badoer it is then.

Well, looks like we're about to find out. It appears he's committed to the rest of the season if need be. Of course, with the ban on in season testing he's going to be on a pretty intensive learning curve come Thursday practice.

He can play around in that million-quid custom Ferrari he drove on Top Gear.

I'd just like to make it clear I'm not a fan of the show, but watched it because Schumacher was on. Honest.

I wouldn't really like to see Schuey back in a Ferrari. I think he'll end up looking like a bit of a dork tbh. I doubt he is anywhere near race fit - not sure if he's fully recovered from his bike accident -and would fail to meet grossly inflated expections; he is, IMO, far better than anybody currently on the grid with the possible exception of Alonso but I think would need half a season.

Here's another one...Schui is thinking of taking over Massa's ride.

lilelvis2000, can I get a go on your avatar?

Now that'd be good to see.

God love 'im, Hamilton's a fabulous driver but if he were any more asinine he'd be transparent. At least Schumacher and Button are both of the opinion they don't give a sh!t what the media think.

Personally I'm only starting to become convinced by Hamilton this year, though I have always rated Button.

Except they say that's not a joke.

Rear suspension spring ....??

I'm wasted here. I should be behind a till somewhere

Sorry.

Bounce = wheel coming off the car as it did from Alonsos.

[Zippy]

Wasn't that Fernando Alonso (or, in even poorer taste, Henry Surtees?)

Updated joke: Rubens Barrichello must be ace at Mario Kart.

No, it's because the last thing he said was "Bill Oddie hell".

I wonder how many last words are actually "tulip"?

I'm pretty sure mine will be "Oh Bugger!"

I once worked in a pub in Bath & one day had the misfortune to meet Mr Oddie. I accidentally trod on his foot while he was stood at the bar. I turned to appologise but never had a chance to get a word in - the little c**t turned the air blue & spat purwe bile at me. Talk about a disproportionate reaction. So I said "I guess an autograph's out of the question then?" & dived under the bar. He had to be restrained from what I recall.
