"Obviously my replacement I was aware of this for quite a long time and for Felipe it was around Indianapolis that his future had to be decided and I did not see a reason to just hang in and take away his opportunity. I think he is a talented and great person." Wow it must have been hard for Schumacher to give up what he loves the most. He could have continued but he decided to give a chance to Massa. That is a noble sacrifice. I hope Massa lives up to the endorsement of the master! Today he looked very ordinary againsts a heavier BMW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck to Massa, I think the driver line up for Ferrari is not so bad next year. Kimi we know is fast, and I think Massa has speed too.

cavallino 2 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 Exactly, all the Kimi speculation has been bulls##t, Kimi has had a signed contract for ages. Michael never had any veto power and he never expected it, the pressure Ferrari might have put on him was for Massa's decision. I don't see Kimi having waited all this while, he would have signed for Mclaren if that had happened. Kimi was always going to Ferrari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So your IQ is let say around 30! so im not even consider to start a duel here with idiots like u ( IQ of 30 and lower). I can understand that you are a sick prick with no attitude.

But this decision is I think an excellent choice, and especially at the right moment. JV(that guy who won in 97) was talking about how Michael won't be remembered and the so-called "beliefs" he stood up for - haha, guess it's gone all wrong for him.

Dogster 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 <sigh> Back to schumacher. Well I pay my respect to him. Even I am not his no 1 fan, he will be missed. Surely missed. I do wish he instead of retire, fall back into testing role for a couple of races, like oliver did. Watching him on tv giving his emotional speech is very heart breaking for his die heart fans. And now kimi to ferrari. well now I have to get use to support ferrari team. We will miss u Michael Schumacher... <ferrari flag waving> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only shoes Massa has to fill are those of Ruebens, and thats a size 8. Kimi wil take over Michaels (size 13) position as #1 which means that the whole team, race tactics, etc will be 100% focused on Kimi where Massa is there only for support. Kimi signed a three year deal, Massa a two year deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The curse has not been down to Paragon but rather Ilien. Now that it has been moved inhouse there has been one engine failure so far this year (Pedro today).

pumpdoc 2 Report post Posted September 10, 2006 You only hope that FA will even get near some F1 records, you just can't handle the he will never get close to being great. His move to McLaren will be seen in the same light as Hill's move to Arrows or JV's to BAR...oh he may win the odd race or so in the future but that's it..............
