This week’s Top 2 list is crazy Canuck drivers. I mean the professionals, not the ones you encounter every day driving on the 401 whilst drinking their Tim Hortons and chatting on their phones.

Jacques Villeneuve has accused Michael Schumacher of a series of dirty tricks and lying to fans and fellow drivers:

“Michael isn’t a great champion because he’s played too many dirty tricks and isn’t a great human being”
“It’s quite sad, really – because the reason Michael did what he did is that he thinks he’s better than the rest of us. He thinks he’s bigger than the sport, too, but he isn’t. And when he retires, and no-one really remembers him, that will become clear.”

2. Sebastien Bourdais @ Denver, August 13
  
  “Tracy got into a shouting and shoving match with Alex Tagliani, of Lachenaie, Que., after both were knocked out of the race. Tracy caused the accident by coming back onto the course.”
