The Motoring Journo Joe Saward reckons that because Ferrari is cash strapped, they have hired Massa AND Schuey will be in a Mclaren-Mercedes next year , because cost- cutting of the sort ferrari is going to have to do doesn't work in F1 and among other things, Mercedes want him there to promote the product (from an article in "Motorsort News")

Schumey in a maclaren next year? - r u predicting a schumey/kimi switch for 2006? i don't know how feasible that would be for ferrari.. maclaren want kimi, kimi would want to get paid close to what schumey is now, and schumey probably wouldnt want to leave ferrari?
i never heard they were cash strapped... maybe its all that useful testing they've been doing over summer to get back to speed

WHOA!!!! get way back. come in behind. sit. I quoted one of the most respected motor racing journalists there is. IMHO.( reading his history is a bit of an eye opener, actually)
It is a well known fact that the parent company, FIAT, is feeling the pinch.
When a parent company starts to listen to accountants, one of the first things to get the short back and sides is the motor racing arm EG Ford & JaguarF1.

If this happens..i would be delighted!!! But i doubt it for 2006,mayb 2007 if Schumi doesnt retire..
Personally i dont think Michael would drive in another car,but strange things have happened in F1

I think Schuey wants to retire a winner, and he will choose the best seat available to do that

According to Grandprix.com Dan Wheldon is in the frame for a seat at Williams. There is talk of him testing, then it will come down to a choice between him and Rossberg. Pizzi should have been at the track instead of asleep at the hotel when they needed him.

I read that, as well. Both grandprix.com and autoracing1.com mentioned it, so I'd watch and wait. In a sense, it's exactly what Dan should do....he's won the Indy 500, he's clinched an IndyCar-title, so what else is there here in the States' for him to do? If he gets the shot...he should take it.

i guess schu's reign is over. it would be bad to retire a loser... well... i guess he will try harder next yr.. but as ppl age.. their agility decreases...
i dont think he can do any better next yr though he tries..

My memory is fading,but how many F1 champions retired when immediately after they won???
Cos after u win the championship,one feels he has the spark to get one more...N thats human..
Most champions retire after losing..i think Michael's had his share of success..so i dont think so he'll be disappointed

isnt it embarassing to retire cos you LOSE!! hahaha... he should retire soon before his "WORLD RECORD" gets tainted by his current performance.

Just wondering do you think schu can make a comeback nxt yr?? or perhaps in the yrs ahead??

I think I will just sit on the verandah in my rocking chair and ponder that as I watch my agility decreasing by the minute
