A number one driver who has shown little motivation if at all in the last 2 seasons. Frankly I'm srprised Luca has tolerated it thus far. I can't see how Schueys return will harm developement for next years car......

well I'm a bit confused about how I feel about it too. I kind of feel that once you make a big deal and do the big retirement thing that should be it. it hasn't worked for anyone else who made a comeback (alan jones.....). but on the other hand I am very excited just to see schumacher race one more time. I loved watching him every single time he took to the track.

I actually do partly agree with djr81. it's probably not a good thing long term, but i think the other guys are right. most of the ferarri guys will accept that they are doing this so as not to make massa feel bad and it makes the team look good and gives them a chance to flog a shitload of surplus schumacher merchandise....

hell, I'm wracking my brain to think of which of the remaining races I can get to just to see the guy race one more time.

He can (will) ruin it simply by his presence. If you have seen Kimi in the pitlane when Schumacher is about you will already have seen how little he is wanted. Schumacher simply serves to divert the teams attention away from their future & their frontline driver(s).

Put simply they should have drafted someone who will be of use to them in years to come. Not someone who is out of practice, out of training & generally out of time.

As for BMW leaving - four things come to mind:

1. Their 3 year plan for world domination didn't quite come off, did it lads.

2. Serves you bloody well right to abandonining Frank & his team.

3. Speaks poorly of the future of F1 from a manufacturers point of view if one with BMW history & market position can no longer justify it.

4: I blame Chris Bangle. Sure, it's not his fault, but that is not going to stop me blaming him anyway.

yeah, BMW fked williams over very nicely. payback is a bitch.

as for kimi though, I don't think he'll be worried about MS too much. he's far more concerned with strippers, coke, champagne etc than with keeping his job or impressing his bosses. he also enjoys occasionally driving an F1 car.

Yeh, i am in London at the moment and the BBC just did a story that Ferari have announced MS is back to support the team and his mate Massa.

Trgaedy what happened on the weekend. I was shit scared on Monday when i was driving an R400 Caterham at Spa with stuff hitting my helmet all day...thnakully it was only rubber and bugs but was in the front of my mind every session. :merli:

Interesting times with all the goings ons in F1 at the moment

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
