Re: So Micheal Schumacher still had it after all?
Has MS ever said why he never came back to Ferrari ? He was an advisor for them, and wasn't he still under contract and ended it early to race for Mercedes ? I believe he's reputedly spoken to someone regarding the same. Mercedes funded him in the early part of his career... he wanted to repay them...

In the last 7 years, my monthly train ticket has gone up from £42 to £61, so in rough numbers an increase of 50%. The service is about the same as it was, which I consider VERY poor.

Agreed, Vettel has the driving, the luck and he hasn't had a "bad year" yet. A possible pairing I think it would be fantastic for the fans. They are both quick over one lap, both take care of their tyres, both are quick in race mode. It would be electric. If Kimi was to come to RBR though, to "Vette...
