He's coming back!

So I am sat there having a bit of breakfast and flicking through the telly. Flicked onto BBC 1 to hear that Michael Schumacher has signed to take Jenson's old seat for 2010!

So at the age of 41 how quick is he going to be?

He isn't doing it for the shillings, more of once a racer always a racer. Lets face it he was the best and peeps like sharing a grid with the best.

Last race at Cadwell those peeps that raced with Guy Martin, bet they were over the moon, similar analogy, but worlds apart.

Bit like Castle Combe Superbike Grand National a few years ago when a Ex DSC member topped the Wet quallifying session ahead of the likes if Kiyo and Rutter on the HM plant Hondas as well as a few other well known names such as Sean Emmett.

Although going to the TT allows little known racers to compete against the best there is at the island
One of my favourite pages where two of my mates I helped that year were 3rd fastest in quallifying on the first evening of practice week, even more so as one of them was riding my bike.

Although this is a good one with my bike and my mate up to 2nd place
http://www.ttsupportersclub.com/tt%2...imesmonday.htm

I'm sure there are many in next years F1 looking forward to racing against Schui and hoping to beat him. I hope he has a car that allows him to show us how good he still is.
