RS seems out of a seat:

F1live reports:
The Schumacher insider insists that Ralf's year out in 2008 does not mean his F1 career is definitely over.

"There have been cases in which drivers have come back after a year," the confidante told the agency.


Let's hope NOT (the come back part )

[Jabberwocky]

it was the Force India test that he did badly in and said it was not a shoot out even though everyone else said it was, I think is the point that he realised that he could not rely on living of his brothers name anymore as they had already told him to take an early shower

[McLaren Fan]

He was never anything special: he's just gone from being average to poor. Hopefullly, he won't be back; who would be silly enough to offer him a drive anyway?

[madbrad]

Even his manager dumped him. Willi Weber wouldn't have him and now this other guy finally had enough. How bad a driver do you have to be that you can't even keep a manager?

[texasmr2]

His ego outclassed his driving skill and now he's paying the price. The telephone ring's and Ralf answer's "Hey Ralphy it's Mike if you need a ride for '08 I've got a warehouse full of kart's, take your pick!".

F1 grids will be ten times safer now Ralf has gone, he must have been in cuckoo-land when he thought he'd get the McLaren drive... HA!

What did he ever win before entering F1?

[madbrad]

He won "biggest ego on a non competitive driver" award.

the same people that were silly enough to give him a test run

[onelapdown]

What did he ever win before entering F1?

The Formula Nippon championship and the Macau F3 GP... Takuma Sato is better qualified!

[bud]

he wouldnt have got a look in if not for his bro

[Forti_Corse]

just shows how messed up motorsport is, that you need to be related to royalty in order to get a drive.

He brake tested JV in Melbourne and the resulting crashed killed a track marshall, ramming the back of Barrichello didnt win him any friends I am guessing.
With his driving he should be delivering pizzas or driving taxis. So long sucker!
