Schumacher vs Raikkonen

[topless_mx5]

Schumi to test alongside Kimi for the first time on Monday. Should be interesting to see the times: http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=4181...

I doubt it - they'll be testing different things so, as usual, the times won't mean a great deal.

Now, Schumacher vs Raikkonen in a couple of Exiges at Anglesey - that would be interesting.

Its the only way for Shumi to keep in touch with F1 developments. He must feel the urge to race again though...specially with such worthy opposition on the grid. Interesting how he cant keep away from the cars yet his brov made a clean brake. Thas the difference in a world champ and a race winner...F1 is in yer right to the core.

I imagine this is probably because Ferrari feel that they are indebted to Michael or that he can provide them with some benefit by driving their car, whereas neither Toyota nor any or Ralf's previous F1 employers feel the same about him.

If I was in Schumacher's position, I'd want to race with all the new kids that turned up last year/this year.

Michael will want to end up the day fastest so expect him to be on the quicker program.

I half expect Ferrari to allow them to both do low fuel runs.

I'm not sure where'd I'd put my money if Michael does a good number of laps.

Pretty close at the top, also Kazuke Nakajima looking good.

Unfortunately you need to wait and see what Autosport make of it - averaging the runs out and spotting who was running light and what were the long runs like

Still good to Lewis on top

I bet MS is pissed / KR is happy.

Wow, 224 laps by Honda and still over 2 secs off the pace.

Fisichella might be an interesting one to watch this year.

Fisi wasn't one to watch when he was in a championship winner car. What makes you think he'll be any good now?!

[ph123]

Are Renault in trouble or what?
And Button just cracks F India with a Ferrari motor. Mm.

Despite that he's the first "decent" (come on he's not that hopeless like some) to be in a tail end car for some time, he might just show what the car can do, well for a few laps anyway before he falls asleep. And he outpaced his ex-team/team mate Alonso today.

[stuttgartmetal]

Schumi doing 83 laps in the Ferrari, how much must he love it ?
Can't wait to see him in the Honda.
