    yeah i saw that too! what a marketing cop out! they were even advertising it on speed as the come back of the king. Nothing like a big cup of disappointment, thanks Shumi. He needs to talk to Shaq and get an Icy Hot Patch for his neck, suck it up and get his race on. Do it for the fans!

    I wish no harm upon Shumi, I'd love to see him race is all. But if his dr says no go the there is a no go.
    It jus Sux as a fan when the hype gets your hopes up then there squashed with the pain of reality, its like when someone told me santa wasn't real :(

    He can get one of these and then "it's back to normal". That's what the Doc told me although I haven't taken him up on it yet.

    The BBC article states among other things:

    "Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck which occurred after the private F1-day in Mugello," Schumacher told his website.
    Veteran Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer will now stand in for Massa.
    Schumacher aggravated a neck injury, suffered in a bike accident in February, whilst trying out a 2007 F1 car as he set about making his comeback.
    But the 40-year-old German revealed: "The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe.

    "That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by F1 yet. These are the clear results of the examinations we did on the course of the past two weeks and the final examination on Monday afternoon.
    "As there were no improvements after the day in Mugello, I decided at short notice on Sunday to do that thorough examination on Monday."
    A strong neck is crucial to F1 drivers who face punishing G-forces, and Schumacher contacted Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and team boss Stefano Domenicali on Monday evening to tell them he had lost his fitness battle.
