Wow! Schumacher to return to F1

[Rentech]

Just read that there are reports of Schumacher returning to Ferrari while Massa is out of action. Don't think it is confirmed but would be ineresting to see.

[stanski]

Yeah just heard it on the wireless..... looks like an interesting season to come then

[BladesGrant]

I can't see it happening to be honest. His people are saying that he won't be coming back. Not sure he would be up for it half way through a season. I wouldn't want my reputation of champion being tarred by coming back as a stand in driver.

Then we really will see if the car is any good or not.

[Chris`I]

Yup, that will be a sight to see! I'm really supprised hes coming back.

[Sarnie]

even though he won't be able to win the championship I don't think his reputation would be tarred if he comes back and wins a load of races

[Anubis]

Can't wait to see Button vs Hamilton vs Schumacher!

[Sarnie]

Makes it worth watching again now

[Zazur]

I hope he does really well and doesn't end up regretting this come back decission and tarnish the previous memory!!

 

Should get really interesting

 

Hope Massa ends up ok with no lasting effects

[stichy]

i dont think he should come back, he did the right thing finishing at the top of his game.

just my thought

That's was my thought too

[kObi]

yeah i seen this in the papers monday, didnt actually think he could come back. really hope he does well!

[Beavis]

Great to see him back if he is fit enough, but please forget about him having any chance of winning a race. Not going to happen.

 

I hope i dont regret saying that.

[shire350Z]

problem is, if he doesnt do very well people will inevitably start sayin was he really that good or was it just the car as his cars off pace now and he's not winning etc/etc

The car is @*!# James

[shire350Z]

there you go then but hamilton's was up until last few races

[BulletMagnet]

In my opinion, Schmacher is getting bored with his current lifestyle perhaps, and being a true driver at heart, it's only natural that he would love the chance to come back, albeit it being only for a short while.

Where did Raikonen finish in the last race? Like all the really great drivers they know what is needed in set-up & I'm sure his input can only help to get the best out of the car.

[Rory]

Any one else thinking publicity stunt? I hope its not, would love to see schumi up against Hamilton and Vettell but its 4 weeks till the next race and a lot can happen in 4 weeks. He's only said that he would stand in for Massa is needed. He would probably put Raikkonen in his place lol.

As you are a betting man, I say £20 that he does win a race, providing that is he does take part in all the remaining races this season. You up for that

Your on Colin

 

Yep a Ferrari was second in the last race Keith but Hamilton won with a fair bit in hand Ferrari are not developing the car unlike Mclaren and the others.

[Sarnie]

but please forget about him having any chance of winning a race. Not going to happen.

 

Thats a bold statement. If it was some two bit ex-champ like Velleneuve I'd agree, but you can't write off pedigree like Schumachers. If he gets onto the first two rows of a starting grid you never know.........

Yes it is, almost as bold as you saying Real wont win anything this year with their signings

 

But he wont win unless the others fall off the track. The ferrari is not quick enough and neither are the team developing it. So i stick by my bold statement. I think the signing of Schumacher as an alterior motive behind it anyway It might keep a certain guy off the booze and out of the lap dancing clubs for the rest of the season.

 

Dont get me wrong its great to see him back and i hope we get some excitement from it especially with Hamilton but i cant believe he will be quicker than Kimi in the same car.
