Yes he's taken lessons from the cheating grand master Schumacher

Both incredibly talented drivers but both with a win at all costs attitude, I remember watching Schumacher deliberately driving into someone so they couldn't win the title.

Wish Webber had accidentally clipped him as he sped past.

He tried it more that once - first time (Hill?) it ensured MS won the world championship, second time (Villeneuve) it would have if he had succeeded, but he failed.

Just the once?

He did it to Damon Hill in Adelaide successfully to clinch the F1 Championship title. He tried it again on Villenueve but that time didn't work out so well for him.

Oh I remember the Villeneuve incident now, that was comical he didn't even try to hide what he was doing he was that desperate

He had got away with it once before ... maybe he thought he was entitled ...

It seems nice guys finish last (well, second and fourth at least).

Stunning revelation: when you're awake from ~3:15am to 5am (and it's not your usual thing), you will be tired later that night. And if you only a scrap of a meal for lunch and precious little else all day, you will be ready to eat a small horse by 7pm or so that same night ...

Katie, telling it like it is since yesterday.

Had a few sleepless nights but then at about 5am Miss 4.5 goes back to sleep

The worst part is that it's all me/my brain/whatever keeping me up.

I remember it was just a few years ago when I couldn't fathom the idea of a sleepless night involving *me* lying awake unable to sleep. It was so far from the (not all that bad, really) times where I would be awake for min. 1-1.5hrs with Little Miss under-4ish every second or third night.

And as I discovered last week, there's not mich going on in AFF between 1-4amish Aus Eastern time/BNE time ...

Well, I did have a few sleepless nights last week as I was toiling away, though suffice to say one part of my tried to abstain from AFF due to the work, but another part of me abstained because I had the exact same thought as you! (Who was I to know that you were online? )

How they can allow betting on these rigged races is beyond me.

Horse racing, greyhound racing etc has been rigged for a long long time yet betting on them has been a popular passtime for a long time.

I think it's a free country and if you consider all the options it can work out in your favour if you like a punt . I wouldn't rule out Vettel letting Webber through in the future as a one off

I wouldn't count on seeing that any time soon!

I guess I think all gambling is pretty stupid then. Just like the share market.
