Assuming Schumacher does end up racing and Felipe Massa doesn't make it back as quickly as expected, they could have 7 races against each other this season. Who do you think will come out on top and why? :scratchchin:

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

Raikkonen, because he has been at it for the last two and a half years while Schumacher was falling off bikes, he was half a second faster than Schumacher when they tested together in 2007 and he doesn't have a neck problem. Plus Schumacher isn't really racing for championship points for himself and the team will recognise this. i also don't believe Schumacher can just come back and be on the pace straight away, I expect him to be at least a tenth or two off for a couple of races.

In reality you have to say Raikkonen. Ferrari are finally finding a bit of form in the closing part of this season, and he seemed to come alive again when he had a sniff of victory.

Furthermore the two circuits we are coming up to should be in Raikkonen's favour. Schumacher has never raced around Valencia and Kimi is mighty at Spa.

All this points to Raikkonen comfortably beating Schumacher.

However if Schumacher was to beat Rakkonen (cleanly), then you would have to question the Finn's future in F1.

TBH i dont think he has a future in F1 anymore, hes got his mind set on Rally now and seems quite content there, Could you imagine Ferrari giving permission to the likes of Massa or Schuey (if he was still at it full time) to go rallying in their spare time, I think not lol, Me personally i think this will be Raikkonens last season with Ferrari but i could be wrong

Schumi and his magic will win it.
Beat Kimi and his booze and the fact he CBA

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

I think Kimi will receive the biggest wake up call ever.

At the end, I predict they will score a similar number of points. Counting in wins and DNF's. We can't forget SPA is MS's favourite circuit too.

2015 Best Season Yet! Forza Ferrari!

I love MS too! and Kimi! what an exciting time for me! Personally, I want them both to finish in a dead heat for first place in all the remaining races on the season...

I think a few other drivers may stop that one from happening. :twisted:

yup not exactly likely is it...

i'm just gonna be gutted about whichever of them finishes behind the other at the end of each race. If Kimi beats Schumacher I'll be sad because i know Schumacher isn't at his best and it isn't a fair comparison and if Kimi looses I'll be sad because it means that Kimi doesn't really have it any more because to be fari, he should beat any newcomer with his natural speed in a car he's driven all season

lol's bless him and his crazy reputation. I can't think a driver in F1 who has said so little yet created such an aura of misbehaviour around them. In other news, his favourite drink is Karpenkova, a kind of brandy made out of potatoes. Kind of like a vodka/wine hybrid but I can't find a single page on google about it. I'm assuming it some kind of illegal Finish moonshine type substance...
