Am i not right or somthin´?

Welcome to GTP Full sentences work better (eg am I not right or something ).

From the lack of an answer saying you're right I'd say you were wrong, I'm afraid.

[TheBook]

What illegal action taken by a Le Mans-winning driver led to Michael Schumacher's F1 debut?

(Looking for the driver and the action taken.)

 

[Dotini]

Bertrand Gachot sprayed gas on a London taxi drover.

 

[Liquid]

Yeah, he had an argument with a taxi driver in London and used a CS spray on him. It was a real shame for Gachot because he was having a terrific season in the Jordan 191 and his F1 career was never as competitive after that.

Interesting side trivium on Gachot:

As a Luxemburg-born son of a French man and a German woman he doesn't consider himself to be any single nationality and raced under the EU flag where possible.

 

[TheBook]

The best part is that, according to this Telegraph article, Gachot wasn't even in the same car as the cabbie he sprayed. Your go, @Dotini.
