There better be a triumphant return...

I was very pleased to read that my new main man, Kamui Kobayashi, found a decent ride and has signed for the recently revived Sauber sans BMW team. I look forward to his fun style of racing and possibly pissing off smooth kings of driving like World Champ J. Button.

Other than that I am as "over the moon" as little old Bernie Ecclestone is with all the stories I continue to read about Michael Schumacher's supposed return to F1 with Mercedes GP. When you are reading stories with Luca di Montezemolo talking about how in his eyes it is Schumacher's "twin" that will be racing for the Silver Arrows next season you can only assume gears are turning and Schumi really is on the verge of coming back.

I just love it!

If Schumacher does in fact return to the grid I wonder if Jenson Button will be kicking himself in the ass for not staying with Brawn... if it was a challenge he was really after.

While very few will debate that Lewis Hamilton is a great driver who will win more championships in the future, even fewer will debate that Michael Schumacher is a force of racing nature.

If Button wanted a same-machine challenge going head to head with Schumacher would have been the wisest choice on his part considering he apparently wants to be chewed up and spat out by his team mate. While I am rather confident Lewis will not have much of a problem doing this to JB, Schumacher would humiliate Button in a way that Max Mosley has to pay to receive.

I understand the main reason Schumacher is being poached is because Mercedes GP want to start their re-introduction to F1 with a beastly German super-team, on top of having the means and will to procure such a talent. If this were still Brawn GP there would be far less of a chance they'd be knocking on Schumi's door, even after letting their champion go to McLaren and their old reliable saunter on over to the Williams pasture to graze. Maybe they would? Maybe Schumacher would still have come back had the team been Brawn and not Mercedes? I don't know.

All I do know is I am excited to see Schumacher either live up to his fans expectations of a come back or fail miserably. I also know if after achieving world champion status if the next step in Button's personal career path was to try to go head to head in the same car with someone he deemed to be a worthy adversary that Michael Schumacher is the man to try to prove something against.

It is a great shame... but still great!

Michael gets the call on his scarlet "Schumifone" and after quickly ducking into the nearest public toilet he emerges and is ready to save the day and make millions of super sad little Ferrari fans happy once again. Schumacher himself will now prove that either the F60 is in fact a pig, or that he really is as good as some say!



While it truly is a great shame that something like this had to happen in order to get Michael Fucking Schumacher back into the cockpit, it is still great! When I got home from work and read that Schumacher was returning to help out some old friends I let out a yell that would be likable to one a hillbilly might make if Dale Earnhardt himself rose from the dead.

That picture of Felipe makes me so damn sad though. Poor old Massa. When I saw the footage I had to leave the room cos a tear came to my eye. Kinda like back in 2004 when Ralfie Schumacher ate shit so badly into that wall at Indianapolis. That was the first time I was ever scared watching an F1 race. When I saw this actual picture, I was even more upset than when I saw him catch that spring to the head. If that thing had been caught any lower our little Felipe would no doubt be dead and that would be even worse than is the case now.

When Lauda made the mention that Schumacher was the only real choice for Ferrari, I entertained it for like 2 seconds and decided that it would never happen and that Lauda was just saying his normal off the wall shit (albeit always with a grain of truth) just to ruffle some feathers. Then I started secretly yearning for it to become a reality. Then yet again I realized it just wouldn't happen... so when I saw the story on GrandPrix.com I almost tossed my cookies with excitement.

While nobody wanted to see Massa hurt, I bet the guy just gained a million new fans because I know I am not the only one who has missed Schumi the past 2.5 years.

I'm so glad Michael has a month to train and am truly excited to see him back racing, if only for a little while.

Kick some ass Schumacher.

Get Well Massa

annnnnnnnnd...I don't even care about BMW pulling out of the sport any more.

What this picture of Frank Williams says to me...

While I am pretty sure Sir Frank has never actually strung the words "Eat-a-Dick" together, as he is a far too elegant and proper man... that is what this picture says to me. It is what I imagine him saying to somebody given his pose in the picture as well as the look of contempt on his face. This could have been taken shortly after BMW informed Sir Frank they would no longer be working with them?
