Not sure how I feel tbh. Guess it will be good to see him race again, but know the media will make a massive Shumi vs. Hamilton story out of it.

Best time for him to get back into a car as well, got a month before the next race.

A month when he can't get in the car and drive though - no in-season testing in 2009.

To get into racing fitness. It'll take him less than a Friday pratice session to get the feel for the car, will take him much longer to get up to the fitness required.

Guess I should've worded it better. Meh.

 

[neobuxadmin]

Well , he very easily can pass the fitness test, its very interesting to see him in the race very soon.

Last 40+ driver to race...Nigel Mansell in a McLaren in 1995....that ended well.

 

[GIMH]

Didn't they have to enlarge the ****pit because he was too fat?

 

[Matteh]

Yeah they did, but the car was a dog anyway so he decided sod this and retired.

Thing is though is he was obviously still fairly decent, won the last race of the 94 season (Adelaide iirc).

Doesn't stop him driving the 2008 model though, does it?

 

[Matteh]

2008 model around the private Ferrari track for a month, yeah will probably get enough preparation.

 

[biased indian]

last week a program in star sports was showing him driving the 2008 model for that show...

 

[frdsmth9]

Very much looking forward to see Micheal Schumi in the coming race.

 

[Johnners]

Schumacher calls off comeback - Formula One - Fox Sports

that was short-lived.

 

[The Baconator]

Luca Badoer? Where's Marc Gene when you need him?

 

[Matteh]

Want Luca Badoer to not be the driver with the most career races without a point anymore, even if that's what makes him cult.

 

[Jarquis]

Thought this might be just as good as any to make this post.

Has anybody come across BATracer? batracer.com

 

[Matteh]

Is a thread for it. Quite a few CW seasons happened before interest began to wane.

 

[Jarquis]

Anybody keen to get one on the go?

 

[duffer]

Haha wow, Force India!

 

[biased indian]
