Gotta love Schumi’s reaction after seeing Badoer i) inexplicably give way to Grosjean in the pit lane, and ii) inexplicably tread on the white line while exiting the pit lane.
I don’t recall ever laughing out that loudly while watching an F1 race.
The face says it all.
(See 0:17 onwards in the clip above.)
P.S. I wonder what must have been going through Schumi’s mind: “Oh crap, I can’t believe this rubbish…even at 40 and with half a good neck I’m sure I can do better than this guy…it should be me in that Ferrari.”

Ah well, I guess the risk of having no neck left was the deciding the factor in the end. :) But Schumi’s reaction is really funny though. That said, he’s always been one to wear his feelings on his face. :)
Yes, absolutely. He’s always been one to wear his feelings on his face! I guess great champions always do.
why did he give way?! he could have easily overtaken and gotten a headstart.
Yeah there was absolutely no reason to give way. He should have remained in front…
anyway, just heard the news that there’s going to be a jetliner versus car race at Changi Airport as publicity for Singapore’s F1 next weekend. Seems pretty exciting. Wonder if it will be broadcasted.

Oh yah, heard about that one. Sounds interesting…although I can’t say the idea is entirely original, haha! (I remember BBC’s Topgear doing something like this once.)
I doubt it will be broadcast, since the actual race is only going to last probably less than a minute. But I really wonder who the driver of the Porsche is though…
