Haven't been keeping very close tabs so:

What's the general opinion of how Mercedes (Brawn) will run next year compared to McClaren?

I'd love to see Schuey, Button and Lewis in very similar (identical would be even better!) cars and see how they do...

Schuey may be great, but surely age does reduce your reaction times and all that jazz? It must dull things, however good you are?

Depends just how much better than them you were to start with.

What a cuntish thing to say. It's not like either of his blatant attempts at cheating were in danger of hurting anyone.

Deliberately causing a collision in open-wheel cars always carries a risk of hurting someone. F1 isn't touring cars.

This is not to say that I'm glad he broke his legs in 1999, though - I wouldn't wish injury on anyone, which is kind of the point.

Personally. though, I'm not excited about this comeback- I'd rather see new exciting drivers coming through than have schuey back for a year or two at most. I'd be far more interested if he'd decided to have a crack at Indianapolis or Le Mans. I think the mark of the truly great is to excel in more than one discipline. this just feels like treading old ground.

Fixed!

Next year is looking really really exciting at the top - I hope they all deliver cars to let the theory match the reality. Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Schumacher, Massa, Button. That's leaving off drivers like Rosberg and Webber who'll both be there and there abouts on any individual race.

Woo!

They were very low speed collisions which arguably were going for a line that wasn't there, which is why he tried it. The other guy could have backed off in both instances.

Anyway I've come to realise the only reason I watched F1 is because he single handedly made it entertaining. It is indeed the mark of how dead it is as a 'sport' that they've probably realised this and offered him god knows what, or played on his competitive nature, to bring him back. Like the guy in the tiger mask in Gladiator.

Jumping to a few rather large conclusions here... Can you imagine the quandary Jenson would have been under a few months ago assuming this has been going on behind the scenes for some time? Who would you prefer as a team mate, Schumacher or Hamilton?!

Really excited about this, just a shame he's in the wrong car. I do hope no team have found an inventive way to interpret the rules this year, well unless it's Ferrari :coffee:. If the cars are close we could be in for an amazing season, great group of drivers amongst Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes and RBR. Just 80 days 21 hours to go :)

USF1 make Baguette deal.
