Not wishing to permanently derail another thread I thought I would start this one. I had been looking for videos of the infamous Schumacher Startline Chop. I have renamed it since over time some writers seem to have taken to using the term "Schumacher Chop" to describe anything from Schumi overtaking somebody to Schumi crashing into somebody. I even came across an article where the writer described the incident when Schumi in the Merc' crowded Barrichello in Hungary! That wasn't a chop it was a squeeze!
Anyway, I found this Lulu of a race start and felt the need to share it. Then I thought "this will open a can of worms!" and promptly deleted from the post I was about to make. So here it is, a can opener from yours truly. Hopefully, this will inspire folk's to dig out lots of crazy F1 startline and first few lap incidents for our delectation, enjoyment, ridicule and sheer amazement.
P.S. This is a slow boiler and it's worth sticking with it as it gets sillier as the event progresses ...
