Does anyone know the german for bugger ?

Does anyone know the german for bugger ? Because I suspect that or another fine anglo-saxon expression was the first word going through Michael's mind when he saw the huge plume of white smoke in his wing mirrors. Yes, the Japanese GP has been run and won by Fernando Alonso after Schumi suffered his first engine failure since 2001 while he was leading the race. Fernando leads the championship by 10 points so he only needs one more point at the Brazilian GP to clinch back to back F1 drivers titles.
One interesting statistic to come out of the race is that if Micheal does win in Brazil he will have won more grand prix's than Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost combined. It would have been nice to see Michael win the title again in his final year but I can't see Fernando letting it slip now particularly as he gets a fresh engine for Brazil. We are witnessing the end of an era that has been dominated by Michael's brilliant F1 career but if McLaren can get their act together once again and give him a car that can win then maybe we are seeing the start of a new one with Fernando Alonso.
