    Not much of a driver. can't even drive a go-kart. :D

    Maybe SF should challenge him to a go-kart race?

    Watching him shake his wrist after the impact, I wondered what impact an exhibition ride in a kart could have had on this year's championship if he'd hit at the wrong angle ....

    It's not like Schumi never screwed up on the track.

    The point was that the thread made it seem like he totaled the cart and after watching the video it looks like a harmless bump on a course with hardly enough room to even fit the cart in. Even monaco is wider than what he was driving on that's taking into consideration the difference in size for the vehicles.
