Schumi Back in F1: update August 11th, no he is not!

[DFext37 Fielding]

Yep, on the main BBC Sport page.

Reactrion: WOW.

Only replaceing him until further notice, but still wayhey. He cannot drive the 09 spec car due to testing restrictions., but i think he will test an 08 model with slicks and different aero settings.

Oh my god , this could be incredible!!!!!

Lets be straight about this, he wants this cause he wants to try and show the young pups a thing or two. Bet Lewis can't wait. Bring it on!

Tickets for Monza for me - can't wait for Lewis to wipe the floor with Herr Schumacher in front of his adoring Italian fans.

Probably give Kimi a gee up too.

[DFext37 Fielding]

well that is a point with Kimi, with Massa (maybe not confrimed) not being able to race again, it was rumoured that it was Massa and Alfonso for next year, but maybe Raikko for next year then?

[Trigger]

Kubica is being talked about with ferraris sponsors for next year - Alonso seemed more obvious - maybe drop Kimi and have 2 new drivers.

[AlanP]

Shame, and there is me with a three day pit grandstand ticket, 4th row, for Singapore!

Yum, Yum

wicked...can't wait for Frank Bruno/Lennox Lewis 2 too. I love comebacks......I was thinking of making one meself as a non-alcoholic good shag with a penis that works. Anyone else up for revisiting your youth?
What would you like to have back that you don't have anymore?

[DFext37 Fielding]

Raiko to Renault? World Rally?

I'd like to combine my youthful lack of fear, with my older confidence and wisdom.

And I'd like my hair to stop growing in the wrong places, and get back to where it should be.

You mean like Vettel did to Lewis at Silverstone?

Schumacher sent this message to Hamilton:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JuS5AwR5Xg&feature=related

Umm.. well as we all know, the car has to be somewhat driveable!!

I am stoked to have Schumi back. Whilest I never was a fan of his, coming out of retirement for the last 7 races shows his competitive desire. He may have some cobwebs, but come race 2 or 3, we will be fighting for wins, car willing of course.

Just to have Lewis, Kimi, Schumi, Vettel, Button and Alonso fighting on track is a F1 fans dream. I am salivating at the prospects of the racing! F1 just got interesting times 10!!

Schumi also gets KERS too, watch his starts at every GP!!

Not really, no. The Ferrari and McLaren are currently far more even on pace than the Red Bull was to the McLaren at Silverstone.

My fear is that Schumacher has actually only committed to Valencia, and given he's not raced there, nor in the current Ferrari with slicks, he may disappoint himself and call time.

[Trigger]

I think Shuey starting the race with kers may make 1st corners entertaining....he wont hold back - no reason whatsoever to do so !!

[Richard Marler]

Irrespective of whether you like him or not, or how he actually does on track, this is a great marketing stunt for F1.
