Another disaster from Ferrari - why they didnt check him out thoroughly before releasing his comeback to the whole world is beyond me and shows how blinkered they must have been about the "Great" Schumi.

Question is - Was he too slow or too Old or just too unfit?

Very sad, it was just what this year needed to add a bit of extra spice to the second half of the season.

I heard these rumours yesterday,

what a let down, i appreciate its his health, but gutted as i had that friday off to sit in and watch practice qualifying and the race,

so i guess we just have Mark Gene now, unless Mansell is free.

Why not send the Stig, the chatty brother of kimi Raikonnen

What a shame. He was pretty knocked about in that bike crash, so I doubt it's anything to do with his pace. I was looking forward to having him back in F1 for a short time.

I suppose they'll have to chuck in one of their test drivers.

I'm not disappointed.

Which is probably more than can be said for those who bought tickets for Valencia on the basis that he was going to race...

Step up DC then wink

He hasn't said that he given up totally, maybe he's aiming for the race after instead?

Oh right, so the driver that races in Valencia must then give way for the great Schumi in Spa? Get over it guys.

Yesterday evening, I had to inform Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo and Team Principal Stefano Domenicali that unfortunately I'm not able to step in for Felipe. I really tried everything to make that temporary comeback possible, however, much to my regret it didn't work out.
Sounds like it to me

Oh thank god for that! I never understood why one of Ferrari's TWO reserve drivers were never put forward for the temporary seat.

It was all a PR sham.

Delighted he's not coming back?

Love or loathe MS, he's clearly disappointed he can't race.

Quite.

A Hamilton fan who doesn't want to see Lewis humiliated by real class would be delighted winkbiggrin

whether you were a fan of him or not, and tbh I wasn't at first, I think we all miss out by not seeing this, Ali vs Tyson?
