Re: 2013 Silly Season Thread

Would be something quite fitting if Schumi ended his career as a pay driver...just like he started! And at Sauber to boot. The same guys that gave him his big break in racing with their Endurance Racing dream team of himself, Wendlinger and Frentzen. Ironically enough at the time, he was considered...

Re: 2013 Silly Season Thread

Where does this leave the open Sauber seat and Ferrari is the question now. Along with Senna's seat at Williams which surely isn't safe.

Schumacher to Sauber?

Williams must be so frustrated with Maldonado. He's fast but he's prone to crashing when he's racing up front.

To be honest, I'd be inclined to agree. The best they can really hope for is to be within 107%, anything more than that is a bonus given theres rumours than Red Bull have been sandbagging majorly (if BBC's F1 Blogs are to be believed anyway!)
