The odds are stacked against Schumi because of this whole last minute drive thing and because of the current pace of the F60 itself. He has a lot of hard work ahead of him to prepare, even if his current general fitness is tops. Making it into Q1 and finishing the race in top ten is enough for me to call him DA MANN! If that happens I really want to see him finish the season and do 2010 too! It is difficult to predict the winner for Valencia.

I CAN DRIVE!!!! Honestly. Bourdais did not do anything in Formula 1 with Toro Rosso. He is a real waste of time. There is no way Ferrari would even consider him when he couldn’t perform in a Toro Rosso against [Sébastien] Buemi. The problem is there is a lack of up-and-coming guys. “The test drivers are useless, and there is nobody else here if you think about it. If he (Schumacher) doesn’t want to do it, the idea is finished in the same second – but if I was di Montezemolo I would call him.” This is a good one from Niki Lauda…

In F1 the champion is always the BEST driver IN the BEST car driving for the BEST team. The best Schumacher can hope for, and we're being optimistic here, is to beat his team mate, in this case, Kimi. In F1, only the drivers in top 3 teams race to win. The rest only race to beat their team mate. RBR has the best car right now and it would not do Schumi justice to expect him to beat Webber or Vettel. Such is the knife edge complexity of being competitive in an F1 car. I hope the development in store for the F60 at valencia will put them in top 3 teams for pace. Even then, expecting Schumi to be able to maximize that and translate to a race result is highly optimistic, even though his fitness is top notch even today. He hasn't been in the car since April 2008 and his neck muscles would have become weak already. He can try to compensate that by doing special exercises in the gym but nothing tones the neck muscles like doing 4g through corners regularly, as what all the other drivers are already doing. If Schumi gets into Q1 at valencia and finishes top 10 in the race, he is a demi-god and I really want to see him race the rest of the season and in 2010! Head Hunter,

The reason behind this piece of surprising news. To bump up the ratings again. The F1 PR circus is truly working overtime. I hope Schumi doesn't regret this decision. The last time he drove a Ferrari F1 car was in April 2008. Now he is expected to fill in for Massa, quite suddenly. The public don't appreciate how difficult it is for him to get into the F60, which he has never tested.. and worse still expect him to be insantly competitive and battle head to head with Kimi, Vettel and the top drivers. Hope the fans are not dissapointed and hope Michael's stellar competitive record is not tarnished. He should not put his reputation at risk this way. There are certainly younger future hopefuls deserving of this great opportunity but the F1 circus prefer to remain a circus. All the best Michael! it's obvious aint't it?
