Schumacher rules out comeback

I find it very hard to believe that Shumi no longer possesses a Formula One superlicence?

David colthard is still tied to Red Bull, so it wont be him...

Who is out there?

 

IIRC it expires after a while if you aren't racing anymore.

 

Last time he was on a F1 was winter 2008 i believe.

Anyways, this guy should have a license fo life, it's god we are talking about !!

 

To be honest, I would not rule out Bourdais. I feel if Gené does not get the seat, Bourdais is the leading candidate. Teams this year, especially, are very keen to bring someone in without experience (good example is Barichello over Senna, and holding onto Bourdais to start the season, and the exception thus far being Alguersuari), and having driven a car under the 2009 rules, Bourdais has a leg up on everyone else.

 

MS coming back for the rest of the season would give F1 the boost that it needs. The last 2 races were empty and to add him along with Alonso, LH, Kimi, Webber, Vettel, and a good Brawn team would surely be exciting to watch.

 

I don't know,
Seeing Schumi struggling in the middle pack in a F60 that won't evolve anymore, not sure it would be such a blast.

 

Want to see valencia sell out?

$12.5M/race for the remainder of the season... ($100M to finish the season)

Damn Willie, you should give me 50% of your percentage. But I'kk settle for 1/3!

Talk about win-win!

 

Jacques "Strap" Villeneuve????

Just kidding

 

Da-ni-ca! Da-ni-ca! Da-ni-ca!


C'mon, EVERYONE now...Da-ni-ca!...

 

think they would stand a better chance with Montoya, but thats very unlikely

 

If Ferrari did that, I would start cheering for Force India

 

Hulkenberg.

 

It's going to be Alonso, Renault have been banned from the next race.

 

What a shame. It would be awesome to see Schumi sit in a couple of races.

 

I doubt Schumacher would make an appearance mid season after over a year out of a f1 car. He's a highly competitive person who trained like a mad man every off season to get ready for the coming season. he wouldn't climb into a race car unless he's tested in it and in peak physical condition. I'm sure he would do alright but Schumi wanted nothing but the best from himself.

 

+1, but first it would be great to know that Massa is 100% fine.

 

That's what I was going to say. Maybe at some point when Schumi is elderly and can barely see, they could request that he reapply. But come on guys.

 

I can't help but think that maybe they're gonna put Alonso in? Perfect way to get him into a Ferrari seat, and have Kimi retire at the end of the season.

 

Precisely. Love him or hate him, it's probably because he'll do whatever it takes to win, and a person with that mentality isn't likely to just jump in and give a shot for a couple 'o races in an unfamiliar car after time off.

 

It would be pitiful to Kimi's career to end on this note and even more pitiful if it was put into motion by a freak accident involving Massa. I would hope perhaps Kimi is motivated by this to step up and bring glory to the team now that there is NO ONE else at Ferrari that can do it.

Kimi has proven himself many times to be one of the fastest of all around the track, although not always the total package and prone to lose motivation. But he is extremely quick and I think someone of his talent should stick it out until he gets at least one more WDC.

 

+1

 

Is there any evidence they want Kimi gone, or is this all speculation?

 

Drivers apply to get their superlicense at the beginning of every season, after testing. They have to complete a certain amount of km I believe. That's why that whole spat broke out about the increased fees for their superlicense, since they have to get it every year and the fee would go up in proportion to how many points you got the previous season.
