That would be awesome!

Montezemolo wouldn't find a place where to hide!

Yes, but I think Rosberg can beat him. Armstrong was great this year but he was beaten by his younger teammate. And Rosberg is a top-class driver despite he couldn't show his quality and performance with an average car... (BTW: I know, it's off: but does somebody have Rosberg's fantastic Q2 lap at Singapore?)

You just said it.. Actually they are MWs the whole family. I just can´t stand AH at Maccas. It reaaaaally makes me sick.

If Schumey makes a come-back there really is one interesting point to follow; MS used to build the whole team work for him and him only. Nico might not be strong enough to avoid and resist that. But his father Keke sure is.. Not a mediawhore but so very deep inside in that business with millions of contacts.

What I mean is that if MS comes back we have to line-ups to follow; FA&FM and MS with NR. That should make it funny and interesting..? In that case I hope even JB can shake a little at Maccas.. Could be a hilarious season?

I think Nico could learn from Schumacher. I believe Ross won't let this no:1 for him again after Austria 2002.

I don't know about Rosberg beating Schumi but I would have enough if Schumi beats Ferrari.

And if Michael performs on the track as well as Lance did on the road... I would be more than happy.

Come on? Should we list here all the races RB dealed MS to win instead of his present team mate?

You could look at that two ways. Yes Lance was beaten by his younger teammate but how many "younger" riders did Lance beat? Not a really good comparison, the closest I can think of would be to look at fighter pilots who experience higher g loading, incredible concentration challenges under physical stress, and excel into their late 40s. MS's disadvantage will be not having spent time in an F1 car that may be minimized by the redesign of the cars in 10. His other disadvantage will be the general lack of testing.

To my mind MS has less to lose by underperforming than his competitors do if he succeeds.

Should be fun.

I think it would be better to forget these cases. We don't have to be very clever to know that Schumacher was better driver than Rubinho. But 3 years could be very long period, and he is not too young. I doubt if he will be able to beat the young drivers, but I'm sure he will be running in the top 5-6 if he returns and Mercedes give him a good car.

Or this alleged Henkel-deal hijacks the Schumacher-Mercedes deal.

If this is enough for the Legend...please be welcome..!

This rosbergs father talk is ever more laughable than what allen writes about schu coemback.

Great Schu is back just for one ****ing year. Rosberg would be idiot to not shut up and learn form driver like schumacher. Just look how much massa improved.
And speaking about rosberg. He indeed has a lot to improve if he wants to fight for title sometime. And personally I dont think he is WDC material anyway. Senile Schumacher gonna beat him easily

RB had the chance this past season and we all saw what happened.

If he could not beat Button, he can say whatever he wants about his time in Maranello but thanks to the reds, he was second in the championship a couple seasons... This past one, not even that.

Yes, on other hand, Vitali Klitschko returned as well from his retirement and he is fine, I think. Schuey has everything which can help him on the way to the top, but I wonder if 1 year will be enough.

MS driving for Ross with Jean Todt head of the FIA. I don't want to be anywhere near this board if MS pulls off any wins next year


Joking aside, IMO it will be definitely a good thing both for the sport and the fans if it happens, and I for one hope it does.

Perhaps You got me all wrong? I really don´t find Nico as a top driver, noup! And this senile of Yours won´t beat anybody easy any more. May beat at the rifgt circumstances but easily? No!

He can always renew... One season at a time!

Being honest, if Schumi comes back, it'l be a dream come true for me! I'm so excited about the idea!

First of all, everything is depending on the car.

Secondly, I think Mercedes take the bigger risk, because their image could be more destroyed by a Schumacher-flop. But this won't happen.

Umm why would Mercedes image suffer if MS fails? Did they build him or something? ... It's win-win for Mercedes, if he goes well great, if he fails hell they gave Germany's only WDC a swansong in F1. Don't forget all the stories 3 years ago about how MS wanted to keep racing and was effectively pushed out by Ferrari politics ;)

And to finish this bullshit about Rubens, people should really make a list. How many races he handed to Schu? was it more than 5? I dont think so.

Me too. Basically I didn't like Schumacher when he was racing in the F1. I was not against him, just I didn't like him. My opinion has changed when I read an F1 Racing issue about him. How could he turn Ferrari around. It was a fantastic story.

A flop? Even if he is just mid-field this will be a coup for Mercedes. A 7X WDC driving for the Silver Arrows. He will be the most sought after interview, get the most press coverage and in every one of those instances will be a prominent Mercedes logo. You cannot buy the kind of coverage this will bring to Mercedes.

My case is just the opposite! I have been a Tifosa (right now I am on leave ) and he was driving for Benetton... We could hardly get a podium finish and he was doing great and I was mad as hell! I can`t remember how many times I wished he was driving for the reds and finally, that moment arrived and it lasted very long. Now it's a different story but he'll have all my support together with Vettel.

History repeats itself?

No doubt about it... He'll be the STAR. And I'm quite positive that he'll do great!

It could be!

I can just imagine a starting three front rows of Lewis - Schumi - Alonso - Button - Vettel - Massa (in any order) oh what fun


imagine throwing in Kimi to that mix... we would have been spoilt

Or Vettel will replace Schumacher at MercedesGP in 2011. Who knows.

Wait a year... Who knows? Perhaps your dream comes true!

I think Vettel is going to race alongside Kimi in 2011... But I would not mind to see those two together...

I think it was just the A1 ring, and later on that season rubens got the win back in indianapolis

This dream duo could have been a Rosberg-Button for me.

Luca di Montezemolo has told Reuters that Ferrari will not stand in Schumacher's way if he wants to race for Mercedes: http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKLDE5BD1DO20091214

Don't give up dreams... You never know what the future brings...

Does he have any choice?

It looks like in a very near future... The Red Dream Team we be officially over!

Yes. And I think that actually hampered the team's efforts to achieve success. But I think the real fool in that wasn't Michael Schumacher - it was the guy who let him be there and distract the team.

This only proves to me that everyone goes home eventually.

My old friend Tammy used to wonder why all the older people in our city drove Chevrolets. "Everyone eventually goes Chev" she quipped. Her axiom seems fitting here that even though he was a loyal Ferrari pilot/pusher, his roots run deep and he's not all about fame and fortune. Mercedes is comfortable.

This smacks of him wanting some fun and feeling comfortable. As he ages a Mercedes role is more like him. Expats usually come home and enjoy home more. I certainly did. (and by home I don't mean where his house is)

Corrina is probably happy to have had him at home for a bit but is also glad to have his restlessness solved.

I agree. Ferrari doesn't need driver development. It needs nothing of the sort. The team is better suited to not have a person such as him in a role such as that.

That means... Next season, no excuses at the red boxes then... He won't be there so everybody will be very concentrated on their jobs.

and in USA 2005.

Well, it took him/them 3 effin' years to figure that one out.

You may of course disagree but I think he was a distraction to the Ferrari F1 team in 2007-2009.

He was too much respected within the team for them to really tell him to go away. He got to interfere with the decisions they made and perhaps had too much weight for his opinions.

Perhaps with the 'help' of Michael Schumacher Ferrari made a mistake of raising a driver into a #1 position which he should not have had by the level of talent and results he had shown considering his team-mate had definitely shown himself capable of winning Championships.

I see it as a great thing for Fernando Alonso if Michael Schumacher goes completely away from the Ferrari F1 team. So I think Fernando must be hoping Michael Schumacher has signed a deal with Mercedes GP already! He can beat Michael in the race tracks but can he do it in politics? Can he beat Michael in politics in the Ferrari F1 team? I doubt it very much. Michael has too many friends in the team who will perhaps even sabotage their own team if Michael asks them to do so. It's better to wish he goes away even if it means he will be an opponent in the races.

I will never forget that podium... Tiago Monteiro went nuts! He was so happy! That was really funny!

ohh yes and what about refuelling ban is that good for schumi and ross strategies/tactics??

So... If things go wrong... Fernando is going to be in trouble because he won't have the old guy to blame...

Ssshh! You mustn't let the facts ruin a good conspiracy theory

No, Schumy beat him that race

You can't be serious even to consider such eventuality. Some of you guys need to attend some focus group to get help. I am known to possess rather low opinion of Kubica, and having anything to say about it, he would have never driven for BMW, yet I am not mental about it as some of you are about Schumacher.

Autosport.com

yes team favoured him through 2nd pit stop
an then the race's pivotal moment was when winner Schumacher forced Rubens Barrichello onto the grass as he re-entered after a pit-stop.....but anyway Barrichello has cut Schumacher's lead down to just 0.5 seconds, but following a message from the pits, both cars drop their pace....
only win for ferrari in 2005 and real winner was barichello!!!
