Schumi returns to F1! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Aurora40 · 12-24-2009

Schumacher signed to drive with Mercedes F1, along with Rosberg. So he'll be back with Brawn, and back in the driver's seat. Pretty neat!

Pretty cool deal. Will be interesting. My thinking is Schumi's skill-set/competitive fire may have dropped a little...happens with age, by maybe 5%...if that's the case, will be very interesting to see him 'Race' with the field instead of pulling away from them. Had some good battles earlier on with Damon Hill then later Jacques Villeneuve.

Now this could make for a very interesting season indeed!

Mike said he's been doing some work outs in karts....yea it's not an F1 chassis but those karts do beat you up. If he can take the beating and still be able to drive effectively ( concentration ) he may not have lost too much off of his skill set?

This could be the makings of a headache for the rest of the field, Mike and Ross together again.

Now I can't wait for March!

F1 was dying pretty quick. Schumi will be a good pump of attention and money to the F1 circuit. I think you will find there will be a small curve to get him up to speed and extremely competetive. I give him 3 races to a win.

Ya'...I don't know about that...? Everything is going to be pretty wide open to start the year though. Wonder what the line is for how long before he wins a race? I can see him winning in 3, or never winning again...just so hard to say

. Will be interesting for sure

I thought this season was shaping up to be one of the most interesting ones I could remember, even before Schumi's announcement.

Two US F1 teams competing, the return of Lotus, it should be pretty interesting!
