Does anyone actually believe that this little neck problem is going to keep Michael out? A bit too much drama for me for what I bet is a non-event. He will be racing. The only question is why the nonsense? |

Ultimately the neck this is beyond Schumacher's control... he must first be sure in himself for sure but it will be for the FIA medical team to decide and there in lies the risk... minor as it might be. |

Maybe they should give him a day to test the F60 to make sure.

I just think they are making a story out of nothing. Lets not forget that there is going to be very little F1 news for a couple of weeks and the press want to get as much mileage out of the schumacher story as possible. |

I'm sure they'd get a ton if he wins a race. |

Ah, but that won't happen. All the remaining races are Lewis's.

I agree that the neck-story is a fuss over nothing. As Rubens might say: "blah blah blah". |

Off course there are crumbs for Heiki, it's called retaining his seat at a major team. But then again . . . . .

Has anyone read this. This is what Clarkson found out about lateral g forces "And then there’s the question of g. F1 racing drivers talk about how they suffer from the effects of this, and I always feel compelled to drive to their houses and punch them in the face. Because the g they are talking about is lateral. And lateral g is for nancy boys." You see, eventually I did start to push the single-seater, and it was a revelation. Because you can see the front tyres and because they have so much grip when they are warm, you can place the car precisely where you want it to be at speeds you would imagine were simply impossible. All these years, I’ve scoffed at racing drivers for dismissing all road cars as rubbish, but I began to see their point. I may have even whooped occasionally like an American. And then my neck started to hurt. And then the muscles in it turned to fat. And then, after a couple of laps, I couldn’t hold my head up at all. When I got out of the car, it looked as though I’d been hanged. Lateral g, then, is unpleasant. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/j...ffset=12&page=2 |

In response to the original question: Schumacher's Neck Who believes this? I do. I don't see why he would lie about it and I can see why the muscles may not be as strong as they were when he was racing regularly. |
