Schumi back in F1

[d0b33]

Exciting times...

 

[Fox1]

Yay!!!

So who will the points go to? Massa or Shumi?
I think Shumi will play backseat to Kimmi.... right?
But then again I cant wait for Kimmi to crash in the first corner lol, then Shumi just needs constructor points!

The points would go to Shumi but I wouldn't be surprised to watch Kimmi gain form in one lap

 

[Willie Trombone]

The best was senna/prost by a mile, they used to take each other out. That was immense, they cared nothing for the team hahah.

Yep, then someone started whinging when Hami started winning and alas the FIA has never been the same.

 

[kaaskop]

LOL he cannot win the drivers title, it would be impossible.

It would need button to not finish another race this year in the points and shummi to win every single race.

And if he crash, like Massa?

Still no way for for him to win the drivers champs.

 

[killadoob]

Well then you would need webber and vettel to only score 20 odd points from the last.

It may seem possible but logically it is impossible.

Quit being so negative!

 

[killadoob]

Negative about him winning the championship

Hahahaha, no need to be positive or negative cause it is not possible.

 

[Serqet]

Shoosh killadoob you are raining on our parade here.

 

[Snake Blisken]

Finally the sport will gain some life. Shows you Shumi was and is f1!..

I mean he was the stig for crying out loud...

What more must he do...

All i can say its going to be interesting! Go Shumi

 

[Ivork]

That will never happen cause Schumi is Schumi and he is the best. What will happen if he wins his first race? Imagine that

I can imagine it...and I like it!

I don't think he would have agreed to it if he didn't think he could actually win.
He never really liked anything below 1st place.
And I'm sure Fat Nigel's ass attempt at a return to F1 is stong in his mind.

 

[Grouter]

Let's see what Schumi can do without hundreds of testing hours behind him - of course he at least has the advantage of a decent car and many thousands of hours experience, just no hours in the new car. I won't hold my breath but having said that, I think he can surprise us all... let's see.

Jaime Alguarsuariwhatshisface also had no hours in the new car (ToroRosso) and he beat his team mate Buemi in Hungary...

Edit: David Coulthard puts it better:
"Nor do I think the new-look F1 machines will bother him unduly. If a 19-year-old, Jaime Alguersuari, who has never driven a F1 car around a corner can come in and acquit himself well on his first go in a 2009-spec car, then a seven-time world champion with 91 race wins under his belt is not going to have a problem. "

 

[killadoob]

The cars are really not that different from when he retired.

I am also sure he has been putting that ferrari through its paces so i would imagine he does have hours in it, you tell me 7 time WC shummi has not driven or tested the current ferrari car?

He's an advisor, so he'd have to know something about the car.

 

[killadoob]

I am pretty sure he would have known more than something, could be him testing the car giving feedback.

I am not exactly sure though but i would imagine he knows his way around that car rather well.

Heard massa may never drive again, one eye is seriously messed up.

 

[Creag]

'Young' Schummie is back and I am going to be watching F1 again .

He's been involved in testing, advising and he's just simply a genius behind the wheel. So, hey, I reckon he will be in there at full tilt giving the whipper-snappers a serious run for their points.

Bring it on!

(Sorry! I feel like a child I am so excited...)

 

[Willie Trombone]

So now Ferrari are begging to bend the rules a little to let the 'inexperienced' Schumi test the F60... eish... What's good enough for a total F1 rookie is good enough for a multiple WC I think... I really hope they don't go that route, it will just generate more negative publicity for F1... you won't hear the end of it.

 

[thedutchman]

i dont think theres a problem with ferrari asking for permission so that schumi can test drive the car!

He was driving their "old" car today. That's legal.

 

[thedutchman]

yes, the car that kimi used to become world champion in, but still, its not the same as the new car.
