Dislike is okay, but wishing people harm is way beyond the line of acceptable behaviour.
I agree. If you don't like them, fine, but wishing someone gets hurt is just idiotic.
No because there go to so much trouble to win a race even making other team help them out
True, disliking someone is no reason to want to put there life at risk, I kinda want him to stay now, because he brings controversy, it might get boring without him...
Ferrari do a lot to rattle the cage when it comes to winning at all costs at the detriment of the sport, but I wouldn't actually go as far as wishing their star driver another injury. He's quite capable of messing up of his own accord, without my wish being blamed for it.
Can I correspondingly hope that you get ran over by a garbage truck?
Oh thx i will try and get run over when the bin men come on wednesday, i'll make a note of it
Wanting someone to lose is one thing, but wishing that somebody should be (seriously) harmed goes waaayy too far... That goes to both Tristan and rc10... I really thought better of you... :thumbsdow
@Bawbag: Yes, it's a "love or hate"-thing with Schumacher (I do the latter), but that produces at least some emotions... The other drivers seem so dull in comparison...

Stewards put Albers to back of grid 
30 September 2006 Spyker driver Christijan Albers will start Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix from the back of the grid after his qualifying times were deleted by Shanghai stewards.
Albers was penalised for failing to bring his car to the weighbridge when called to do so by officials during Saturday’s session.
The Dutchman had qualified in 19th position, but is now set to start from 22nd. The official provisional grid will be published by the FIA on Sunday morning.

OK. Albers gets put to the back because stewards deleted his times.
OK what, i'm confused.

Chinese Grand Prix Race ** SPOILER **
Hey all ,
Anyone get up early in Europe to watch the thing ?
It was a pretty clean race indeed , enjoyable at parts , but so much trouble with tyre choices for the teams it was unbelievable.
Heres the facts ...
M.Shumacher took 1st place inside the last 15-20 laps after really bad tyre compound decisions by Renault for F.Alonso's R26.
M.Shumacher - 1st
F.Alonso - 2nd
G.Fisichella - 3rd
All the real details of all drivers here :
http://www.formula1.com/race/result/767/8.html
This now ties Ferrari and Renault's top guys with both on 116 points , Micheal going top because it China now makes that his 7th win , with Alonso still on 6.
I thought Fisi did a really good job today , and glad he got a podium , seemed like he was doing one of the hardest jobs at the start trying and just before the last 1/4 of the race , trying to keep Shumi behind him , with Alonso's sluggish car ahead.
Felipe Massa retired near the end after a tag by David Coulthard , which loosened his front left and so he couldnt drive on.
Raikonnen and both Toyota's opted not to continue at various points in the race while stopped in the pits , and T.Montiero lost it on one of the looping wide turns , and stalled it , unable to restart.
EDIT : Robert Kubica had a real bad spell which involved 2 pit stops in as many laps , both for tyre changes. After getting up to 5th place or so from near the back , the track appeared to be drying and BMW took the chance of placing the car onto slicks quite with the track still semi-wet , earlier than all other teams. Barely out of the pit lane and the Pole ( nationality , not race position
) had no grip , edging slowly round the track , and spinning out twice or three times , including 2 potential race-ending slides. At the end of that outlap , he was straight back in , changed tyres again , I'd imagine obviously back onto wets , and went back out much much further back in the grid , losing all chance of points let alone a podium.
Renault still on top by 1 point in the Constructors and with the driver standings the last two races - Japan and Brazil - are gonna be ... interesting.
Add your veiws or thoughts.
Calum

I thought Kubica drove superbly and it was unfortunately his competetiveness was ended by tyre choice.
DC, although I like him, deserves a bit of a slap for driving with a feminine level of spatial awareness and tbh the steering damage he got was pretty much deserved.
I think Renault's right rear tyre mechanic took a bribe from a man in a red raincoat! lol. Talk about throw the race away, but Alonso did drive superbly.
When Renaults power supply went with such perfect timing the momentary thought crossed my mind that the FIA where behind it and that Max Mosley could probably be found at the back of the Renault garage with a 3 point plug and a guilty expression.
Whilst that may sound outrageous the problem is that in F1 it could be believed - that in itself, whether it's true or not, just shows what a state F1 is in at the moment.
You all know who I want to win the title (hint: He wears blue), but i'm pleased that Alonso is having to drive his heart out to really earn it rather than just cruise through to an easy victory. I think some of the circumstances are well beyond suspect and into out right ludicrosy, but at least it is a close fight.

Great race, but... Schumi would have lost if Alonso's pitcrew didn't balls up the tyres. And Button's pass on the last lap was a bit dodgy but I blame the Aguri for the mess.
Looking at the last corner battle between some drivers, I got the impression that Barrichello basically rammed (not purposefully though) Heidfelt.
And Kimi's driving was pretty good until the McLaren did what McLarens are supposed to be doing. Wonder who will be masochistic enough to take the other McLaren seat next year...
The fact that it was a rain race, it was nothing spectacular.

I slept in and only managed to watch 9 laps of the race left. It's on again this afternoon, so I'll tape it then
.Great driving by Button though! And Alonso!
Ehhh, it was Barichello who rammed straight in to Heidfield. The Aguri drove out of the track, and didn't have much to do with the mess.
I'm gonna watch it this afternoon probarbly.
I said this after Hungary GP and will say it again: F1 should always be driven in wet. Räikkönen made a quite nice maneuvre and would've managed to take 2nd place from outside in T1, but he lost the rear and pulled back to racing line on 3rd. Kubica drove nicely again, but Lap 1 incident and his crew messed it up. Ferrari is the king of pit stop tactics, Alonso is the king of eyebrows.
Was there any good crashes?
Some good overtaking.
Woohoo! Schumi won 
! I'd like to see Alonso's face when Schumacher wins this season
! I'd like to see Alonso's face when Schumacher wins this season 2nd best race of the season after Hungary. Strangely, both races were driven under wet conditions.
I don't really like Schumi but he's retiring so I would like him to win the championship one last time.
