    Before I die, I'd just like to earn 10% of how much he gives to Charities.

    If Ferrari can get the car 90% as good as the front runners, he will win a race. Unfortunately they have canned any further development on the current car - so he will have to drive the dog. Podium finishes are highly likely I reckon.

    The F1 year has just become far more interesting.

    Schuey's major task will be to take Hamilton out on the first corner!!

    be interesting to see if his neck stands up to a whole race. i know he's fit and fastm, but will he endure a full two hours in F1?

    as a mad Formula 1 fan for decades i think this is an excellent move and whilst i personally don't like Mik-hail Schoo-maaker (as once pronounced on Australian T.V) he is simple brilliant.

    if you think he cheats then then i think anyone with his huge ammount of competitive drive and pressure would push the boundaries of what acceptable /achievable

    I reckon he'll go great and whilst i'm not a fan of "ze Red Baron" i hope he does really well.

    and good luck to Mark - he got talent - maybe not as much as some of the the but the aint bad - the red bull is exceelelnt though as you would expect from Adrian Newey - i just can't belive how many breaks we've had this year!

    if it was last year then we could have had a hamilton verses Schu battle! that would have been great.

    And that is what is required to win an F1 race, all the overtaking is done in the pits anyway, so as long as his strategy is no worse than anyone else then he has a fair chance.

    I have watched every race this season and tend to agree with him. While they have gone some way to promote more overtaking it's not quite at the level it was years ago but that is the nature of current aerodynamics. It is still often a case of who leads at the first corner wins the race.

    Will be interesting to see him come back, I don't rate him higher than Senna or Fangio though

    i respect Schuey, i'm not a fan and he did some seriously dodgy things in his time, but he has my absolute respect. it will be great to see him back in the sport again, even if it is for only a short time.

    I cant see how you can compare a "fangio" with "schuey" as they are from different eras, with different cars, different rules, different budgets and different opponents. the only real comparision is with your own current team mate, and even then you might be the first vs second driver, with different backing and even different strategies on the day, and certainly (unwritten) team orders

    Not trying to judge Michael and Fangio together, merely who i have more respect for as a driver and as a person, same goes for Senna.

    We have a month almost to wait until he races so will have to wait to see how he goes.
