c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 I dont think its a good idea for Shumi. He wont be able to perform like he did in the past wihtout the testing etc. Kimi was as fast or faster than him when he retired... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 I'd say he's been or will be at the ferrari test track with last years car getting some fast miles under his belt. There will be a tech loophole somewhere to allow him to get some laps, much like the way redbull let Seb Loeb test their F1 car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Last year’s car is completely different. With the slicks this year’s car is running it would eat it! I would say they have mules that are very similar to this year’s car. Actually, it’s Schumacher, he doesn’t need to practice. Ferrari will be happy if he brings in a few manufacturer points for the team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 When Schumacher retired, he only retired from racing for the team. He is still a permanent (AFAIK) test driver for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Never really taken much interest into F1 up until now, but damn now I cant wait to watch Shcumacher's return! Even without testing like said in that interview he will surely be able to adapt to the car in a short amount of laps? Very talented man.. if anyone he can make a return like this and he is still in a fit condition. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 He said when he left F1, that technology in the sport moves so fast, that even if he did make a comeback, he would be left in the dust. Should be the most interesting race this year. I'd say it's also to show the FIA that the Ferrari team brings the fans in, and so the team should be allowed to have their way when it comes to ruling disagreements and rule changes.

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 12, 2009 It sucks, I almost got excited enough to want to watch F1 again (in fact had already booked the practice, qualifying and race in the DVR). Bring on the Sonoma Indy race, I'm there in two weeks to cheer Scott Dixon on. Cheers Grant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
