How many times is he going to be allowed to use his car to "punish" other drivers before his race licence is withdrawn?

Glad it wasn't just me! He really is pushing his luck

Ive despised him since his last attack on Hamilton. 10 place penalty doesnt seem enough for such outrageous manouvers. If you did that in football you would miss several games, and if you did it with a lethal weapon you'd probably be in court.

Hopefully karma will bite him one way or another.

I feel simillarly but it's not just him. I'd like to see the FIA get much tougher on unsporting behaviour, both on and off the track.

They could have started back in the Senna/Schumacher days. I was glad to see they noticed the bad sportsmanship of MS when he run into Senna-the-nephew at least. Yanking licenses is a difficult one though.

To be fair, they don't need to pull licences. No manufacturer will continue with a driver that consistently puts himself 10 places down the grid. They can't, they're running businesses after all and without their car being shown in a good light they're not going to get any revenue.

Thank goodness the idiot is out of the race already.

I don't think Schumacher deliberately ran into Senna as it put him out of the race. Bad judgement maybe but not bad sportsmanship, as he had nothing to gain by doing so.

What about the time he ran into Damon Hill costing him the championship amongst the others he ran into?
