Ian, maybe the younger generation should get better. Rather than someone just moving aside to allow someone useless to win haha. |

It happens in a lot of sports. How many times can you retire before you actually retire?
Anyway, F1 is like watching paint dry IMHO |

I wish he'd made it back for the Italian GP in Massa's place this year (since I was there). I don't think money is EVER going to be an issue for him and I think he still has plenty of talent. After all, he does hold the lap record for the Top Gear test track by 7 seconds...  It just depends if his ageing body will hold up to it. His neck injury won't help. I'd say give it a better than average season and he'll be done. |

Ali, not everyone loves F1. Same as not everyone loves Soarers.
Sorry to burst your bubble. |

Jeez Ali, enough of the fart bit. Old yes, fart, no (although I do fart a fair bit)
If you want to see fast cars, go see Top Fuel dragsters. Now thats fast
Love the smell of nitro. |

F1 is getting a bit on the old side for me. Sure, it's interesting to see them scream around those bends at the speeds they do, and they make heaps of noise... but that's as far as I go. As for Schumacher - if he is the Stig, who the hell is going to be the next one?
MotoGP is the goods...

MotoGP needs to get rid of all the traction crap etc, so it becomes more "interesting"
Bring back the 500cc 2 strokes
The WSB series is a lot closer in the racing, but dont mind watching either. |

schumacher is returning to F1 because he couldn't ride bikes as well as he thought he could.
It was all ego driven , Rossi has shown he could drive World Rally cars & I'm pretty sure he was close to F1 times when testing.
schumacher gave it a shot with the bikes and realized he wasn't up to speed.
now that Hamilton is the new golden boy , he wants to come back and be remembered as the "GOAT"
greatest of all time, as rossi is referred to in motogp.
Good luck to him , genuine freak when it comes to driving, but the bike idea was just pure ego.

I love the new technology in MotoGP, and I find the developments in the garage just as interesting as the racing.
If you haven't been to Phillip Island to see the race, you won't appreciate the traction control and all the other electronics. The corner speeds those guys pull are nothing short of stupid, and you can HEAR the electronics fighting with the mechanical side of the bike for control...
At the end of the day, electronics or none, they're still the world's greatest riders racing the world's fastest and most expensive motorcycles. And, for a guy like me who grew up with posters of Wayne Rainey, Mick Doohan, Kevin Schwantz, Eddie Lawson and Barry Sheene on his bedroom walls, it's always going to be the pinnacle of entertainment. |
