Odd thing was - my typo wasn't intentional. But I remember that when I started my response, I noticed your typo, so must have typed the word "Are" instead of "And" because that was the word on my mind at that instant.

Strange how the brain works sometimes

Barrichello was in the wrong lane and deserved everything he got!

Schui was in a Ferrari wasn't he?

An FXX - his own personal one - only 30 of which have been produced

OK, ok, I know that post had spelling mistakes.

Still a cheating git. No longer a world-beating driver too though.

He's a cheating, dangerous german unt.

I really dont know how he has managed to get away with running Hill, Villenueve, Barachello and others off the track, attempting to run them off the track or parking his car on the final corner at Monaco to prevent someone else (driver's name escapes me) getting pole instead of him.

He's only ever got a slap on the wrist.

Nothing will change until the cheat kills someone.

Actually now I come to think about it - was Schui pissed off because Ruebens beat him in the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? Oh hang on - Schui was in a Ferrari wasn't he?

Michael Schumacher has said he is ‘sorry’ for strafing machine gun fire across the drivers’ press conference at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

‘On reflection my actions were too hard,’ said Schumacher on his website. ‘By spraying the entire room with countless rounds of intense gun fire I didn’t want to endanger anyone. If any of the other drivers had this feeling then I am sorry, it was not my intention to cause them to leap out of windows in a blind, terrified panic.’

The seven-time world champion initially denied that he had done anything wrong by hosing down a room of over 30 people using a series of rapidly discharging hand held weapons.

‘Immediately after the race I was still in the heat of it all,’ Schumacher’s statement continued. ‘But after I looked at the amount of furniture that had been cleaved clean in two by my intense bursts of hot lead, I have to say the authorities were correct to intervene.’

After analysing the way in which Schumacher inexplicably hammered at a crowded space with relentless machine gun fire, F1 stewards have decided to penalise the German driver by insisting that he leaves all belt fed weaponary at home for the next grand prix.

Yeah but Vettle fooked up with that slowing the pack down stunt

Only the lead car can control the pace of the pack - any decent driver should know that so either basic error or he was trying to keep within the mandatory 10 car lenghts of the car in front during a safety car situation and failed - which is another basic error.

No comment on schuey - could have been nasty was not but he needs to sort his head out.

Drive me nto a concrete wall, why don't you

To be serious for a mo - Schu, Vettel and (I think) Alonso should have had a ban for similar offences.

Same mindset, they don't care as long as they are winning. But Schumacher was just out of order.

Did you see the look on Vettel's face on the podium at the weekend?

Isn't it ruthlessness, rather than arrogance?

That's not to say he isn't arrogant, but I'd have said what he did was ruthless.

I would say it was more petulant frustration.

Really, got a link - I never thought we'd see the day!

BBC Sport - F1 - Schumacher 'sorry' for blocking Barrichello in Hungary

Schumacher wrote on his website: "The manoeuvre against him was too hard.

"I didn't want to endanger him with my manoeuvre. If he had this feeling I am sorry, this was not my intention."

"Immediately after the race yesterday I was still in the heat of it all, but after I looked again at the situation with Rubens I have to say that the stewards were correct with their judgement,"

He has since backed down and admitted he was completely in the wrong and did make a dangerous manouver.

His comment afterwards "Rubens should have gone the other side" was ridiculous though.

Vettel's (if we're talking about the German GP) was nowhere near the same. He made a move to try and stop the other guy getting through, and as soon as it was clear that was no good, he made space. Trying to scare the other guy of is one thing, but Schumacher gave no indication he would move and if the wall had been 6 feet longer, there would have been a collision. You also saw him watching in his mirror waiting for Rubens to get inside him before he tried to squash him. I will consider that he is good enough he could see Rubens had the 5cm to spare between his car and the wall, but it seems a bit unlikely. His comment afterwards "Rubens should have gone the other side" was ridiculous though.
