Berger backs fuel stops. Former Grand Prix driver Gerhard Berger tells BBC Sport that refuelling is not a serious danger in Formula One.

Three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda, who was badly burned in a fiery accident in 1976, praised Ferrari's reaction to Schumacher's blaze.

"It was sensational how Ferrari handled the incident," Lauda told Swiss newspaper Blick.

"First, they had refuelling problems, and then the fire.

"Usually the Italians panic in such situations. This time they remained cool and solved it perfectly, just like Michael did in the car.

"Michael knew that his overalls would hold the fire much longer than the ones I had in my days. He could have stayed in the cockpit for much longer before he would look like me."

Niki Lauda should remember that it was an Italian, who helped him out of the fire. If it were not for an italaian that didn't panic, he would be dead... What an asshole.
