well that was a walk-over for Webber, and Vettel has gone way down in my books as a sportsman. he cocked up, and couldn't admit it was his fault, i don't understand German, but every second word was safetykar dis, safetykar dat.

have they penalised Schumaker for his stunt?? hope so.

Fell asleep do missed why he got the penalty, was it for his late entry into pit lane, or when he fell miles behind Webber on the restart?

Schumacher has been given a 10 slot penalty for next race.

I thought Barrichello was quite impressive with Schumachers antics and all he never took his foot off the accelerator at all.It did'nt look good either as Schumacher was having a real good look in his mirrors.Surely he must have had a brain fade as no one in there right mind tries to purposefully put someone in the wall at 180 odd mph.

I didn't really see the move as that bad, geeze if Ruben's was really that worried about his life he could have just let off

Take two to Tango

Pluis Ruben has always been a cry Baby, e.g the Spanish GP last year

Haha what did Vettel do? He said he wasn't watching the lights?

Yer, the way the pit lane is at that track the cars come out on quite an angle. It would have been a disaster. Good on Barrichello for keeping his foot in though. Must have felt good overtaking the old teammate.

He was well alongside, backing off was not really going to help.

Maybe a Mark Webber Turkey Twitch would have done the job then, Ruben should have broken that one out, worked well for Webber in Turkey

when Schuey started his push trick, Ruebens was already alongside him. backing off may have sent to kiss the wall.

Vettel in my view is the better driver but just lacks the maturity and experience at this early stage of his career hence the little mistakes that could quite possibly cost him the championship.

Spa and Monza next so I expect to see Mclarens straight line speed advantage come to the fore here and I'm also interested to see if Alonso and Ferrari can continue there form revival of late.

Vettel has been in the game long enough to know restart procedure, and there dosn't seem to be enough team loyalty to webber for Seb to hold the pack up , and compromise his own finishing position..... in a nutshell, he cocked up!!

What shuey did to Rubens very much reminds me of what the other driver did to Chris van der Drift the other weekend,
except one had a pit lane for space and one did not

i don't believe there was malice in Chris's case, it seem more a case of 'sh1t , he catching me quickly, better move off the racing line', unfortunatley, Chris caught him too quickly and was already committed. EDIT: would like to see the full footage prior to the incident to see if my theory rings slightly true

Schuey has always been an arrogant cheat. EDIT:watched it all, and he cocked the prior corner up trying to defend a faster car.

C'mon seriously you honestly think on purpose Schumacher was trying to put Barrichello into the wall.I just can't see it.For me he just saw red for a few seconds and lost the plot brain fade in other words.

Given his history he may not have been delibertaly tring to put him in the wall, but he wouldn't have been in the least concerned if that is what had happened.

Schumacher is, was, and always will be an arrogant cheat who never really deserved the title of "champion", unless it was associated with the word arsehole ;)

Thats you opinion and I don't agree

Almost all World Championship winner have had some degree of luck or dishonest behavour at some stage to help them win there titles

Alonso = Mass Damper + Spy Gate which probably resulted in Lewis title as they were able to copy the best car + Sinagpore as if he didn't know

Prost / Senna = Take each other out at final race of season

Senna = Trying to give Prost the same treatment on a pit wall as Schui did to Rubens but no ones calls Senna a cheat

Rosberg = Villenves untimely death and Pironis huge crash

Webber / Vettel = Flexy Wings (if one of them wins a title)

Arrows copying Shawdows entire car

Brabhams hydropneumatic suspension

Honda's Fuel tanks in 2004

1975 Swedish GP Pole: Vittorio Brambilla / March

Tyrrell's lead shot injector weight-limit scam

Been Haoppening for years and will continue to happen

So what you guys are implying is that you guys think that Schumachers move was premeditated and was trying to cause Barrichello injury.

I just don't see to many drivers in F-1 that would go to those levels for a 10th place finish.Man regardless of whats transpired in years past I honestly don't think Schumacher would deliberately go out to injure someone.
