At Goodwood a couple of the F1 teams ran slicks on the '08 cars, they must be cheats as well by some of the logic here.

yeah they would get valuable data on a hill climb huh

Definitely, i think Timo Glock was collecting data for 'how much tyre smoke can i leave off the line without totally knackering the tyres??'

Schuey has been to visit Felipe in hospital. Hopefully the little bugger told the Kraut that his seat is only on loan for a short time. If correct he will be leaving hospital tomorrow and going home to rest. His eyesight is good and he is expected to make a full recovery (thank god). When told that Lewis had won and Kimi came second he replied "That was my race" pmsl. Can't wait to see him back

I read that, great man.

Schumi and Ferrari kicking up a fuss and a heated discussion. Again.

Well I never.

The FIA have not given that the green light yet. Reading Martin Brundle's F1 feature article today in the Times he doesn't think the FIA will allow it.

Well in my view they bloody well ought not to. The rule is a simple one: no circuit testing during the season. Period. As soon as an F60 takes to the track in a test, all the other teams will sooner or later moan that the F60 has an advantage over all the other cars, they'll use it as an excuse for any improved Ferrari performance relative to them, Etc... It's really not worth it.

Right when Schui got kicked out of the championship in '97 and stripped of all his points, did they count towards what he has overall?

Yes, his victories, podiums etc from 97 are still counted towards their overall figures.
Although excluded from 97, if you look at the final positions his points are still credited to him, however with no position in the championship.

I see. Coz I was gonna say, if they hadn't he was even better than the stats say.

I totally agree, for them to give Michael a chance to test and prepare when they didn't allow Jaime Alguersuari to do so would be bullpoo.

[bud]

FOTA teams have agreed but i dont see Williams agreeing nor do i see the FIA making it possible given the recent deterioration of the FIA/Ferrari relationship.

Look all Mike needed to know is if he is fit enough. Friday practiced will be plenty of time to learn about the F60.

[myownalias]

I believe that the FIA will allow Schumacher to test the F60 because the FIA want to pull attention away from the recent feud between the FIA and FOTA, Michael Schumacher back on the F1 grid will certainly take the focus away from the FIA and FOTA! Should he be allowed; according to the letter of the law NO but it's not the same situation as Toro Rosso, Massa being sidelined was a freak accident not a wilful change of driver!

You rekn? they are investigating his F2007 GP2 slick tyre test so i dont think they would let him test the F60 when testing the F2007 tyre gets their attention.

Yes I rekn otherwise I wouldn't have written it down I doubt anything will come of the F2 slicks investigation!
