So will he use the 1991-2000 white helmet or the 2000 onwards red one?

Raikkonen has more raw pace than Schumacher? That's really funny guys. Trulli - Raw Pace 7.5 - He's quick in qualifying, but rarely in the race, which is why I'm not giving him a higher mark. A quick single lap in qualifying doesn't make you top-driver quick if you do fifty slow laps in the race. St...

Enforcer

Even if he's 70% of the driver he was 3 years ago (and I reckon he'll be much more than that), he'll still be one of the best on the grid. If the Mercedes is quick, he'll win races, if the Mercedes isn't quick, well, no one detracts from Senna that he couldn't win the Championship in 92 or 93, so it...

I'd personally go with 2003 because it the one where I had the least sense of where the chamionship was going to end up for the longest. I can see the attraction of 2000, particularly that excellent Belgian GP where Schumacher was trying to cool his tires up Kemmel towards the end of the race whilst...

OK, you got a point, so let me correct my statement. Damon Hill was the guy that actually managed to get lapped driving in dry conditions a Williams-Renault! Yeah, once at the 94 Brazilian GP (he retired in all the other races mentioned between 93 and 96 where he wasn't one of the unlapped cars), i...

With any luck, they'll crash into each other a couple of times and allow Schumacher or Alonso to win the championship.

Disclaimer: The following post makes the assumption that Bild article is basically accurate and Schumacher is actually considering a return and this isn't just smoke and mirrors. I was just thinking to myself, whilst he could end up disappointing, isn't the fact that a man of 40, with absolutely not...

Think I'll add to the Captain Hammer impersonations.

If he comes back he has to be amazing though.

Don't forget Force India/Spyker/Midland/Jordan (may I suggest 1992 for the latter incarnation's example?) They were closer to the back of the grid in between 04 and this season, and with more experience among the technical staff. Anyway, I'll keep this post 1990 since I'm a young-un, so that'll rul...

Enforcer

Potentially. I just dont like how (at least in the UK) there are a lot of people who seem to think EVERY win Schumacher gets was the result of him cheating. Yet they highly regard Senna despite how he was guilty of some similar moves (IMO Japan 1990 was more dangerous than Jerez 1997 purely due to ...

Can I ask how Michael Schumacher has an overall pace rating of 8.87 when no one gave him less than 9.0? I think that's been calculated incorrectly.

I gave 3rd place 7 to have a bigger points difference between 2nd and 3rd. As for your question, I do think something about the TV rights money was connected to World Championship points, so maybe not as many would have. Well, since the total amount of TV rights money would've still been the same, ...

Was it Fisichella who once missed his grid slot and ended up rather pathetically parked sideways across the grid in, I think, Malaysia? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfLLBlKe6Xg Pretty rejectful. I don't get why Frentzen suddenly appears at the back though, did he get lost on his formation lap?

Kubica just needs Kazim Vasiliauskas as his teammate to revive the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the seventeenth century. Instead of the Russians invading, how about F1 goes to Russia?

Could be worse, Kostas - at least it's not in Comic Sans.

David Coulthard Raw Pace - 7.0 He was slower than Hill (he only got near Hill in 95 because Hill started to crack up in the 2nd half of the season and make a lot of mistakes), slower than Hakkinen, slower than Raikkonen and slower than Webber. Mitigating circumstance is that all of those 4 are good ...

Pure white livery then...

Given the "field spread" caused by cars not being able to follow each other more closely than .6 of a second (if even that close), I don't think the grid size will increase anytime soon.

Enforcer

I rate Sutil, but obviously not many others do or he wouldn't still be at Force India. Liuzzi's a decent driver too, they could've done a whole lot worse very easily.

Doing this with GP2 with DosBox - which makes it a little jittery, between that and the length of time since I've last played it, I'm about 2-3 seconds slower than I used to be. Playing on "Ace" difficulty with the no. 32 Simtek. I'm aiming for a "heroic reject" season, that mean...

Gene Pace - 5.5 He wasn't exceptionally fast or else he'd have progressed beyond Minardi, was about equal to Badoer in qualifying in 99 (although Badoer got his car of the back row a bit more)/ But 5th on the grid in Italy 03, as well as 8th in France '04 (within .2 of JPM) show that he wasn't entir...

Did Mercedes have a press conference (in which case did anyone see it?) or have a press release (in which case did anyone read it?)?

He has more than one source, CH.

There's a lot of confusion going on. German sources reporting Button will stay; British say Button will go. BBC News is claiming McLaren dopped entirely, while Germany stating Mercedes will continue to provide McLaren with engines. Beeb have acknowledged that Mercedes will still supply McLaren with...

So who's right?

Ze Germans or the BBC?

Enforcer

This Mercedes thing screws everything up. Heidfeld to Mercedes. Button to McLaren. And I believe Kimi's out of a drive unless he goes to Sauber or a new team.

Enforcer

Yeah, said it in the Brawn thread. They also think they're dropping Jenson in favour of Rosberg & Heidfeld.

I bet McLaren will finish ahead of the Mercedes works team next season though.

Enforcer

BBC are reporting that Mercedes announced that they're buying out Brawn completely, which will somehow see Jenson go to McLaren. Is that what they actually said (the buying out part)?

Enforcer

Until the overtaking working group figures out how to get cars to follow each other at a gap of less than 0.8 seconds, or they make the tracks narrower and with less concrete run offs so making a mistake results in a DNF, long sweeping bends are really only aesthetic, aren't they?

Enforcer

Is he in a fragile state of mind?

Maybe we could persuade him to crash on a specific lap and put bets on it happening.

Past teams: Arrows: Damon Hill What about Eddie Cheever or Derek Warick? Damon only really had 1 great drive for Arrows. Two or three at least, that car wasn't anywhere near worthy of the 9th place he qualified it at Argentina (and ran 4th during the race). And his 6th at Silverstone was probably f...
