But why would he? MS has no been a SF driver for a long time now...and why the heck is he talking about KR, didn't he show him the door...
lol the religious schumi fans jumping out the woodwork...
Im happy dude seems to be on his way back... while id expect him to handle Rosberg, I dont expect him to be performing magic or owning the rest of the grid....except Brawn build a "monster" like in 09....which I consider unlikely. Mclaren, Ferrari and Red Bull will have fast cars (atleast 2 out of the 3).
And Im pretty sure Schumi will have his hands full swatting off them "monkeys on his back".... and front.
One thing is for sure, it will be interesting... right from the first day of testing

Why would he mention Schumacher. Räikkönen and Massa were the race drivers. Alonso is their coming race driver.
Did he mention Badoer and Gené?

If he comes back no doubts he will be mentally and physically the best prepared driver out there. He will also be technically, tactically and strategically the best prepared driver out there with Ross by his side. They will give all attention to performance and extracting the maximum out of that package. He will live in Brackley and make it his home. This guy will not leave any stone unturned, will not leave anything to chance. He will not do this half prepared but come in full force.
The only one I think that has the will power to stop him is Alonso (because he is smart) if he has a good package for 2010. Hamilton might do a "Montoya" trying to beat the master too eagerly for 2010
I already feel sorry for Rosberg, he might be having an equal contract or whatever but he'll always be the third wheel on this Ross-Michael combo.
Rosberg should do a "Massa" for 2010 and not a "Barichello"

In the end if he comes back it will introduce more people to F1 who may not have tuned in and if we are lucky some may even become fans of the sport.
love him or hate him thats good for the sport and good for everyone connected with the sport, incuding us the fans.

I think it was Bild who quoted Michael's doctor saying that no matter how many medical checks and tests they do, the real thing cannot be simulated. I think it's an old quote from the PC when they announced Schumi's witdrawal from replacing Massa. But I guess it's still the same. Rumour has it his neck should be OK now, but like back in August, nothing replaces the real thing: a test in a car.
It would be foolish from Michael and Mercedes to sign anything before knowing if he will be capable to drive at all. But the problem is the test ban. Bild speculates now that Michael could test a 2007 Honda in order to check out his neck. So I don't think we will have anything official before that test takes place. Any idea when and where it could take place? Or maybe it already has? Could they keep it in secret?

Not really, they could include such a situation in the contract so that, in case his neck stops the show, the contract becomes null and void there and then. Only problem could be for Mercedes to get a halfway decent replacement in such a case, but that's probably a risk worth taking.

Judging by who rattled who in 2007, I'd think Hamilton is a lot smarter and meaner than Alonso at mind games but feel free to believe otherwise. In the end I doubt it will come to smarts, more like who gets the best car. Oh, and MS, if he returns, will have to beat Rosberg first, and then worry about the others. His entry doesn't make him an automatic number 1 contender, as much as his fanboys would like to believe it.

I know about the silly hate campaign which was and still is pathetic. It doesn't matter what people say, though, it really doesn't. What is known is that he has inside sources and that's only natural having been working in journalism since 1990.
He wasn't backtracking, he just stated reasons why he didn't think he would come back.

On the contrary. If Ferrari is commenting, it could be that they know the deal won't realize and they don't want to be seen as those who barred MS to return racing in F1.
I still think the deal will be sealed and MS will race a Mercedes next March in Bahrein.

With Schumacher's case, he ran wide at the corner, and was suppose to make room for Hill to pass, since he had the inside line. And what did Schumacher do? Same story with Villeneauve.

Senna took Alain out because he was pissed off with Balestre. Had Balestre changed the grid order of pole position, neither Prost or Senna would have collided at the first corner.
Besides Senna never lied to the fans, he told everyone before the race 'if you don't change the grid order, Prost and i won't make the first corner', which implied he was going to take Prost out. That's not lying, whereas Schumacher who pathetically denied he was not guilty at Monaco.
With Schumacher's case, he ran wide at the corner, and was suppose to make room for Hill to pass, since he had the inside line. And what did Schumacher do? Same story with Villeneauve.
Had FISA never victimised Senna none of this would have happened, whereas Schumacher most of the times got off lightly by the FIA, and he still persisted in his dirty tricks

i kinf of like Mourinho. He is an entertaining personality, and extremely good at what he does. you seem to disgrace his name. Senna was no better than MS in many aspects. Besides, he is long gone, RIP. MS on the other hand you may have to tolerate for another season.

It's probably the same person who complains nowadays about not enough passes in F1
Well I would be willing to put 5 € on this being Nigel Roebuck texts. Anyone knows?
But wow, Encyclopedia of F1. Sounds like everything you want to know but were always afraid to ask. Or "How to become a F1 historian in 30 days".
The bbc website has Timo saying that he's pretty sure Michael will be driving.

Too late, my wishlist is already in the mail. Anyway, that kind of book is usually good for something, namely "spot the errors" competitions...
