John! How could you change my writing without permission. <nono>

<think> I didn't change your writing... YOUR post seems to be perfectly intact...

I on the other hand however merely but wrongly corrected a statement which as I thought was an over simplication... I do apologise, it won't happened again.

I accept your apologies. <roflmao>

I agree 100%

[size0]like the embarrassment of the current drivers been beaten by a 40 year old retired driver...

True, that's always a possibility....

But given that Schumacher couldn't beat a younger driver in an inferior car in his last season of F1 I don't think it was too likely. Even notwithstanding his age, given his physical condition I doubt he would have done better than a points finish in Valencia. Still a decent achievement but perhaps not what some were expecting.

Still, it's all speculation now so in some respects a pointless discussion....not that that has ever stopped us before <roflmao>

rather than whatever embarrassment may have happened to him at Valencia.

Personally, I would have go no enjoyment from watching him be embarrassed by the Force India’s and Toro Rosso’s

I think he’s realised he’s not going to be competitive and he’s chickened out.

I am both happy and sad for Badoer.
I am very pleased that he finally gets his reward, after so long as a test driver, and finally gets a race.
He is undoubtedly familiar with F60 from testing, so that's not a problem.

But he hasn't raced in ten years. He has never raced at Valencia, and he has never been amongst such a competitive grid, and he is in a Ferrari.

At Minardi, his target was only to try to pick up a few constructors points. A couple of WCC points for him then was as good for the team as a win.

Just what Ferrari will expect from him, is dreadful burden for him to carry into therace.

On the Schumacher news. It’s excellent news for Formula, we can go back to concentrating on racing rather concentrating on some washed up cheat.

Justice has prevailed

<roflmao> <roflmao> <roflmao>

Sorry, didn't realise you weren't kidding....

He doesn’t need a worm, just mention anything negative about Schumi or BMW and he bites. Like some kind of protection agency

But in all honestly, I think there is more to this then meets the eye.

Yer he is going to be in some amount of pressure.

Testing is one thing but racing is another.

If i was Ferrari i would take him to a kart track ASAP
