Good Grief! Schumacher to race at the SuperNats!!!!

2009-11-09T15:07:38-05:00

SKUSA SuperNationals XIII to be exact, in Las Vegas. The biggest kart event in North America (Which has just gotten a whole lot bigger).

Now, hopefully the CIK/FIA won't screw this up, just like they screwed up the whole Scott Speed debacle at this same event a few years ago.

I'm surprised he's getting the seat. His GP2 days were okay, but good enough to warrant an F1 ride?

This old forum is like a well worn comfortable pair of jeans or sneakers.

It'll be missed.

The beta test new forum isn't so bad folks.

Kimi not in F1 in 2010 confirmed

What has he lost? I think he lost Value, I can not conceive a F1 “Piloti” without the other two things in his DNA.

Schumacher linked to Mercedes GP drive

2009-11-18T22:04:00-05:00

Michael Schumacher could be set for a shock return to the Formula One cockpit behind the wheel of a Mercedes GP.

The seven-time world champion reportedly lost his position as an advisor to the Ferrari F1 team as part of a new three-year contract agreed in September, with Schumacher instead concentrating on road car development.

Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug has fuelled speculation that Schumacher could drive one of his two cars, likely as a team mate to Nico Rosberg, while Schumacher's own spokesman has refused to rule out a move to Mercedes.

Heikki’s plans

I have never thought of him as a great driver, however he is fairly experienced, he has won races, and is still relatively young. So what are your thoughts on where he should end up?

I expect him to get a seat somewhere unless he just didn't want too. Any new team could get him relatively cheap. I would be cool with USF1 to even shell out a few mil to pick him up as their experienced driver. Nothing more than 5 mil though.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to say goodbye to my favorite driver. The 'Kimster' was great for F1 and certainly gave us many great things to remember him by, not just his 2007 World Driving Championship, but all the crazy things off the track that made him the stuff of legend(who can forget the gorilla suit?). If anybody else has any other memories or notes go ahead and post them. Here are some pictures and videos that forever cement his epic legacy in Formula One lore. ENJOY
