Sudarshan the shumi fan 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Surely he isnt old. He was 0.417 S quicker than macca of pedro. So he still has many years of racing left , dont know why he retired - he says personal reasons. But I am sure many would want him back to the grid. http://www.totalf1.com/view-article.php?newsid=235868 Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIDEPOD 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 What if....what if...Since Brawn has turned up at Honda. With Rubens already there, they just need Schumi and it will be like old times again....of course old as in like when Schumi started his career in Ferrari and the car was a dog! But on the bright side Rubens can go back to playing Schumi's Bit#h! Button of course would go to McLaren to form an all British team... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIDEPOD 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 found this funny... The German showed early in the morning that he has lost none of his speed, immediately setting fast times. "I think there is a guy called Michael. It looks as though he's got a talent. He will make his way to F1," joked Red Bull's David Coulthard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Why do I get the feeling that Montezemolo was behind Schumi's retirement? If yes, somebody pop a cap in Luca's a$$ & bring back Michael!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's high praise indeed, coming from a guy who sabotaged Michael by braking all of a sudden in 98 (or 99?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously though, good to see Michael still has *it*, no doubt if he stayed at Ferrari for 07' he would be champion (again). Oh well I suppose he'll have to make do with only seven .

dribbler 6 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Lovely to see, very nostalgic. Keeping a level head though, i bet things would have been a little tighter with Lewis and/or Fernando at the helms of a Macca. That and if Felipe or Kimi had been against him. I wonder how he felt? Did it get the juices going again? No, is my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on Elizabeth! The guy was swimming with the whales while all the rest where competing/had active role in testing, development etc in F1 this year! Mentally even, he should have been considerably slower since he decided not to race any more. Yet it seems like he never left! Today was a good present to his fans I 'd say!

Elizabeth Sterling 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2007 Hehe, guess so. Still, often a break from F1 can refocus a driver, Lauda's comeback is proof of this. For what it's worth (and I never thought I'd say this) it's nice to see he's still enjoying driving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
