I gues if you can't sue them - buy them I would think they would report any news like this Christian (Christiank) Member Username: Christiank Post Number: 303 Registered: 1-2001 Posted on Tuesday, April 02, 2002 - 12:15 am:    Did you see him against Montoya? He is so cool! Just like me at 190. Michael is the best. I really hope that we will see him for a long time.

As I said, this was an e-mail I got citing AtlasF1 as the source but I did not see anything to substatiate this. Like I said, April Fools or truth, it is an interesting thought, Chris Jack (Gilles27) Junior Member Username: Gilles27 Post Number: 79 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Monday, April 01, 2002 - 10:39 pm:    You didn't read the whole article. Actually, this will be his last "paid" year. He will compete in 2003 without a retainer! It's his way of giving something back.

Ralf Schmuacher is rumored to be his replacement in 2003. A press conference was supposedly held in Germany today. Can't confirm, must be April fools joke, comments? (we needed something new to talk about anyway)
