[YAN-3]

fkcu F1 now. im sick of it and them playing with my emotions like this. first BMW, now Schui.... whats next?

[Hick]

... thats the thing.... i dont think anything could top this.... unless f1 ended all together *knock on wood*

[TDE30]

I figured either Luca Badoer or Marc Gené would be filling in for Massa anyways, oh well, it would have been really nice to see Schumacher come back for a few races.

[beybedba]

that sux for ferrari.. tsk tsk. who is replacing massa now?

[Jparkr]

It's Badoer to fill in.

yeh i read this last night.. super lame! IMO Gené never had a chance, him being Spanish and Badoer being Italian

[TDE30]

I heard that Gené is partaking in the ADAC Nürburgring 1000 KM the weekend of the European GP (in a Peugeot IIRC,) so it would make sense for Badoer to fill in for Massa.

Give Badoer a chance - he has only been test driver for Ferrari for what, 10 years? It's about time.

In other news a 1, 2 for the M3 in AMLS! Even better, its state side so you can actually go to a race in a developed country!

Wow, I'm just going to ignore the ignorant american attitude from this post.

I'm glad Schumacher isn't coming back in a way. Was nervous about the whole comeback mentality of them loosing their edge. Don't get me wrong, he has and will remain my favorite driver as I grew up watching him race, but he ended on such a great note and would hate to see him end up like other great drivers who made a comeback in F1. Doesn't help I just finished reading Mark Donohue's autobiography which ends with him deciding after 5 years of just working at Penske and going back to F1 and getting killed.

Last time I checked half the f1 schedule was in 3rd world countries. I wouldnt consider India, Malysia or Singapor to be on the same social and quality of life level as America or Canada or Europe for that matter. Dont confuse the truth for ignorance. If you want to talk about ignorance my post was in regards to actually having BMW in a N.A. race unlike F1 which does not race in N.A.
