Hello Journeyer,

“…would Schumi trust Ron Dennis …”
A good point and I don’t TRUST him either.
He’s an icon in F1, not an idiot like Bernie or MadMax but still never earned my TRUST.

Concerning Schoomi here and Alonso there and who drives what when……….hey, we’re all just internet ‘fans’, it’s all SPECULATION, the game that never ends. What brings us back day after day but to read someone elses OPINION.

20 weeks to go………………..

Well, Number 38, Schumi and Merc have a good history, and are still very much cordial now, even after their battles of 1998-2003. (They even celebrated together late into the night in 1998, Merc’s first title, and 2000, Schumi’s first title with Ferrari.) However, while Mercedes-Benz dominated Schumi’s pre-F1 life, Schumi’s post-F1 life is way too dominated by Ferrari for that to happen.

And honestly, would Schumi trust Ron Dennis after all the conspiracies this year, regardless of whether there was equality in his team or not? There is much, much more for him to lose than there is to gain. Remember too that Schumi ended up not going to McLaren, in spite of Mercedes’ huge bid, mostly because of Ron.

No Schoomi-Kimi heads up testing? No surprise……Ferrari can’t afford to embarass Kimi, he proved to be little better, actually NO better than Massa, Schumacher would lap him! Kimi is popular but as a racer no different than Massa and Alonso.
At least he and Massa ‘get along’ and saved Ferrari from any McLaren like problems. And Kimi OWES his title to Massa……..without Massa in 2nd place at Brazil Kimi would still be a bride’s maid. It’s a shame we (the majority of F1 rans) drove Schoomi out last year. Could Mercedes-Benz win him over and place him in the second McLaren seat?

Heidfeld is an un-sung hero, his career was going backwards until BMW bribed Williams to sign him, Now in a good car he’s begining to shine. Kubica will improve also and BMW will become a REAL player in 2008.

“My 2007 F1 driver rankings generated plenty of debate and so will this. Fernando Alonso fifth?”

Yeah that’s not the best list I’ve seen. Kubica 6th and Heidfeld 9th? I thought Kubica was good, but not THAT impressive. Heidfeld, on the other hand, was the unsung hero of the 2007, in my opinon.
