Schumacher for Massa?

[slowth]

Reserve drivers Marc Gene and Luca Badoer must be livid. A good case of constructive dismissal i reckon.

I for one am looking forward to this immensely.

Me too ..

Great to have the greatest driver back, and in a Ferrari!

Why, they haven't been dismissed?

They are test drivers which is not the same as being a "reserve" driver.

Absolutely anyone could get into that car, they have no automatic right to it.

MS has reaced in GP's more recently than either....Badoer was what 1999 in a freakin' Minardi.

I'm sure they're upset but TBH they're both utter shit and have been paid well to drive round Fiorano.....plenty of better options before they got to them like Bourdais or even Sato.

If he takes a car or two out it will be said that he hasn't lost any of his competitiveness.

Nah, Michael Schumacher will be able to do no wrong in Valencia.


If he wins or gets on the podium, he will be described as the greatest driver of all time (which is quite possibly true).

If he scores points, he will be praised for having hit the ground running.

If he finishes outside the points, it will be said that he put in a fantastic effort given the circumstances.

If he finishes last or retires, all the talk will be about how much the cars have changed since he last raced, how this was a new track for him, etc.

If he drives a clean race he will be praised for driving maturely.

If he takes a car or two out it will be said that he hasn't lost any of his competitiveness.

If he beats Lewis or Kimi, there will be asterisks placed next to their world championships to denote "without Schumacher".


Some people are saying that he has got nothing to gain and everything to lose, but I don't really see how he can damage his reputation at all.

I for one am looking forward to this immensely.

So am i I'm goign to love shummis frank this car is shit you need ross to get one built after all it's entirely not the team he left but its weaker more corporately focused little brother... and their cars are shit this year... getting better sure but there's no way that any fezza should have been hassled and harried by a toyota in the supurb drive by glock last week end so they still aren't competative enough.

Think it'll spark the new champs into overdrive

Only Kimi of the champs currently racing have raced him before - suspect that Hamilton will be well buzzed up by the chance

It will be cool

Dont forget, Mansell was 40 when he won the title, then went off and won Indy/Champ whatever it was called in the States - the only man ever to have both at the same time - so its possible for him to do very well indeed
