Ralf
I've lost a lot of respect for Ralf Schumacher this week. He was going to make a decision about racing at the beginning of the week but then delayed it so Junqueira had to fly to Canada as well. He then decided to make a decision after Friday practice and then after Saturday morning practice.
Imagine being in Junqueira's position. Your on the verge of fulfilling your ambition of becoming an F1 driver but you don't know whether you'll be racing or not because someone else can't make up their mind. If you are going to race in your first ever GP you don't get to practice on Friday because this guy still hasn't made up his mind. Then after Friday's practice Ralf says he'll wait until after Saturday morning practice to make his decision. So Junqueira now knows that if he is going to make his F1 debut he won't get any practice in at all before qualifying. Imagine your first F1 experience being a highly pressurised 12 lap qualifying session. It would have been a disaster. It was completely unfair of Ralf to keep Junqueira hanging on like that. He wouldn't have liked it if someone jhad done it to him. He should have made a definate decision earlier in the week and stuck to it.
