Future of Schumacher

[wunderkind]

Marcush,

It is now too late for VW-Audi to start building an engine for the 2014 season.

I would also like to see Michael to continue racing. But he should hang up his helmet if he fails to secure at least a Lotus Renault.

Who said they are not already exactly doing this?
Piech is a very special person and to spit into the garden of DAI -before making it another of their brand collection -is just the sort of thing he could enjoy ....

Amen Marcus, amen! If Michael didn't have the penalty for Monaco, he would have been leading the race and his car failed on him anyway. China he started to come back at Nico but ruined by his mechanics. I hope Mercedes rue their decision to kick him out. What they should've done was fired all the incompetent people working in Brackely. Michael saw that they weren't improving so delayed to sign, nothing wrong with that. Mercedes are just using this excuse as a front. Very unprofessional, IMO.

His contract was out. the only thing Mercedes did was to not renew his contract.

they haven´t pushed him out or bought him out, they simply chose not to renew his contract.

So not renewing his contract and signing Lewis is not kicking Michael out the door? OK....

A Sauber-Audi or Sauber-Porsche would be mouthwatering. Unfortunatelly I can't see that happening. Dreams are not forbidden though. Just imagine them winning with MSC at the helm, it would be a complete disaster for BAR Ho...eee...I meant Mercedes.

Obviously age isn´t a factor for Schumacher.

Make no mistake, maybe not the top teams but surely the mid-fielders would kill for a driver of Schumacher´s statue.
He is still to this day one of the greatest packages you can ever find.

just viewed a statement on RTL by Sabine Kehm :

she stated ,Schumacher knew about the decision for a few days and he was in fact happy how things panned out! So in effect he did not want to continue with Mercedes GP.

Finally-if he knew before AND decided Not to announce his retirement ....this would hint at him planning to contnue somewhere else.

Very very understandable...

Can you share the link plz?

i'm afraid that this is no more than an attempt to "save face" from MSC's part. If not however this is very interesting. Surely he must have some offers at his hands by now, since he is a free agent as we say in football.

Please God, all I ask is a Sauber-Porsche with MSC as a driver, I would settle for a Sauber-Ferrari though

If that is true marcush then Schumacher could have taken the chance and go to the press just 1 day earlier and announce that HE does not want to continue the contract with THAT team.
The whole situation would have looked so much better for Schumacher and really nobody gives a --- about Mercedes.
Of course this would have been a kind of backstabbing move by him but it is exactly what this team deserves. For 3 years they sacrificed his reputation just to save their --- brand image.
Respect to Schumacher that in all this time he never dropped just a single negative word against such a team. For me he became a bigger and more respectable man by this.

...since china he has outraced and outqualified rosberg.
try building some facts into your opinions.

not sure how your answer refers to my comment? i didn't comment on him compared to rosberg

merc isn't currently a top team there midfield (higher end yes) and he does make amateur mistakes.

who was that guy that crashed with massa 5 teams in a single season? and no it wasnt maldonado

Who's the guy that has driven up the arse of someone multiple times since his come back?

apparently hamilton was spotting lieing around the gates of brackley

so you are the judge?

Hamilton has covered himself with comparable amateur mistakes only last year ..forgot that little detail? Vettel even had the tag of being UNABLE to race from any other position than p1 for years...
Button ,Webber,drop a name and you will not have to search hard to unearth some seemingly amateurish mistakes ..
Running in the pack is always going to carry a certain risk .
I remember Coulthard stuffing his car into the pitwall in one race for williams....Your reasoning is lame and just made up.
Schumachers problem this year is the unreliable car /team and their lack of ability for strategy ,development and engineering...a bit much to cover up with driving talent...

[schumifan]

I firmly believe from his recent actions and words that he wants to continue racing - 'i am not yet satisfied....for i have achieved too little in the second part of my career' comes to mind

no tyre eater any longer is a start if he is to move

hammy is screwed for next year - the team will start well and die of death from round 4 on!

is there room for him at sauber, do we believe there is a free seat? if there was no free seat would peter sauber just say ' yes michael you can throw out whoever is here and we will take you please??

[schumifan]

and do we think mercedes would allow msc to throw out rosberg if he wanted to stay, or is that never going to happen?

dude even his manager said that. (i post again)

His manager Sabine Kehm said: "Michael didn't stay at Mercedes because he wasn't sure he wanted to drive and that didn't change over time."

She insisted that Schumacher "would have been able to sign if he had wanted to earlier in the summer".

The problem is not for Mercedes because Micheal choose to not sign contract.... who cares if he change his mind later?? they should start to negotiate with a driver for 2013.

GUYS UNDERSTAND!!! he will retire ....
