    Okay, so I can't sleep thinking about the massive impact Schuey will have on an already interesting season. I am most interested in watching how LH will react. I see two scenarios: 1. He will drive even more recklessly to prove he is faster or 2. He will buckle under pressure of racing against a legend.
    I am also interested to see how Vettel and Alonso drive around him. What a crazy twist in the season.

    Get well soon Felipe

    one thing is for sure .. no one will want to be the driver that takes him out at turn 1, lap 1 in Valencia.

    "The return of Schumacher - how will affect the grid?"

    I would guess that some people will end up one place further back down the grid than before...lol

    My worry is, Shumi hasent driven with the wide front wing in a start situation before, and that combined with the agressive first corner tacticts of Webber and Hamilton he may have problems, If he can master the car and KERS then he may be front row and away clear of them, I cant wait untill the Friday session to see what times he has.

    I dont think he is doing this for drivers points, I really believe he is just after constructors points for the team, if they pull together there is a chance that Ferrari could do well in the constructors title?

    I think the formula 1 fans will get to see some great racing this season, Hamilton has the same driving style as Schui, and the Vettel, Button, are both doing a fantastic job this year, and it will be interesting to see Kimi and Alonso on how they step up.

    All those post-Schumacher whiny b!tches are crying in their mothers' arms right now and it will get worse after Valencia. None of these lame ducks have stepped up since he left.

    The head games are in full force, no doubt. I'm guessing it won't affect Alonso too much but Vettel and Hamilton are probably thinking about Schuey's return alot! Not too sure about the top two (Button and Webber) as they've both been around for a bit. I really hope this inspires Ferrari but that they don't make Kimi feel like No. 2.

    Do you think Schumi will use KERS? Should he??

    Yes.
    The F60 is designed around the KERS system and it is essential to the balance (albeit little) of the chassis.
    Remember when the didn't use KERS for one race...? They went right back to using it didn't they...

    Unfortunately I agree with Ian. Being out the loop for a few years I'm sure he's lost his edge & I'm sure his conditioning--I just hope he can get back on form. Having said that I am sure he could put a few drivers in their place--behind him.

    I don't think Alonso will be phased at all with having Schumi on the grid, after all he did beat him to clinch his 2nd WDC. As for Vettel and Hamilton, who knows, I could see it being a distraction if they're racing right next to him but other than that you would think they can still concentrate.
