Just hearing this on the radio. He will be test driving the Ferrari's as he has experience in driving without aids and all the new drivers don't. That's all the info they gave.
Awesome news though

Meh. We all knew he was with Ferrari in some capacity, he loves the sport, I kind of figured he couldn't stay away forever. Here's hoping he does not become a Michael Jordan-esque guy with 2 or 3 half-assed comebacks where he never regains his previous dominating form.

Mmm... Rumours are a plenty, but if he ever returns to formula one I think he will have to work harder now because there are some very good drivers in competetive teams. Not like the old days where he had the very best car and was the best driver. I don't think he will ever make an ass out of him self, he is still an awesome driver and will hold his own next to any other driver, but they will fight him hard... That's what I think anyway, but I seriously doubt that he will race in formula one again, but it would be exiting to see though... 2007 was the most exiting year in formula one that I can remember, and I have been watching for many years...

Before this year's 3 way, that 2000 season was pretty intense.....and relatively free of controversy....

we havent seen the likes of racing like that since that season... and sadly i dont think we will see it again... F1 is getting too big and these controversies will just continue out of control i think... i hope not but i am getting that feeling

I didn't know he had aids.Just hearing this on the radio. He will be test driving the Ferrari's as he has experience in driving without aids and all the new drivers don't. That's all the info they gave.
Awesome news thoughI bet you were going for "aides".

He was quickest of the 20-odd car field today. Traction control off will be fun to watch:

Brilliant. Anyone know what a hot lap at the Circuit de Catalunya is roughly? Schumacher did a 1:21.992. Is that fast? I presume he put some mustard on his lap as to come out at the top but are these times comparable to actual race times?
For that matter, how similar are these cars they are driving now to the ones they will be using next year?

well the tires are the same, I don't believe BS is changing the compound, no TC. Aero will be different(as in improving in the 08 car), and probably the throttle by wire control system will be different to, which apparently is what Ferrari wants to test here. Interesting to note that Ferrari's 07 car may be more suited to TC-free driving as it does have that longer wheelbase, which will make it less twitchy.....I don't think the times are comparable to their visit early in the year to Catalunya, as it is colder now, and I think it was damp for part of the day....
Schumi definitely still got the touch...

No, I'm pretty sure he meant "aids". As in "driver aids".I didn't know he had aids.
It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I dont think we'll be seeing many slides like that during the races though. I think there'll be alot more cars snapping sideways and going reverse into the gravel.

You think he will drive for Ferrari again? I thought they already had a line up for 2008.Just hearing this on the radio. He will be test driving the Ferrari's as he has experience in driving without aids and all the new drivers don't. That's all the info they gave.
