Ahh shit.  I always thought of him as "The Cheating German Bastard" (gamesman par excellence!) but I really hope he pulls through this.

He seems like a nice guy since he retired the first time. I hope he pulls through ok.

I might be rooting for Alonso next season. How odd.

Clarkson's a twat .. look what he's Tweeted:

The worrying thing about brain injuries is that you can recover only to find you're a midget with a marked Birmingham accent when drunk.

I don't get it.

He's talking about Richard Hammond- who had a significant crash a few years ago.

Ah. That sort of makes sense.

Not saying he isn't a twat - but not really sure how that tweet is an indicator thereof. Unless Hammond and Clarkson have had some sort of falling out and it's a dig.

Clarkson's always had a dig or two at Schumacher ... just a tasteless Tweet IMHO given the current news.

Clarkson's always had a dig at everyone!

It's the sort of comment you get from a twat

viz

Disgraceful.

chillidoggy

Well for a twat, he's made a good career, eh?

In other words, it's possible after even a big brain bang to go back to exactly how you were before.

He's clarified it now.

Drivers choosing their own numbers, gotta love Kimi:

"it's the number I already had last year and I saw no reason to change it".

I think I may just have a beer on the strength of that news. Cheers!
