Mika to Williams and other rumors ??

It's kinda quiet here so let's guess on some of the F1 openings. Rumor has it that Frank Williams is offering Mucho Dinero to get Mika to leave retirement !!

Who's gonna get the second seat at Toyota, will Jag be back, will MS win 100 ?? What am i missing ??

It would be good to see Mika back... but has he lost it for good? Or will he come back with a vengeance?

I think the time off would be good, he's younger than MS isn't he ?

Just a tad older...

"... But over the last few months Hakkinen has resumed his training programme and shed weight, and is now super-fit. At 35 his age may count against him with some F1 teams, but he is only three months older than Michael Schumacher and two years younger than Olivier Panis.
..."

Williams doesn't need an experienced car driver, it needs a car period! Montoya has said the new FW is "impossible" as it goes from understeer to oversteer w/ no warning, slips/slides all over the place and has horrible traction out of slow to med. speed corners. Hakkinen never did it for me, he can stay in retirement. Webber will be in Williams, Trulli will be in Toyota, DaMatta will be in Champcars, DC will be in a Sauber or a Jag (maybe, he's got enough $$$$, may not drive at all). Not sure about second seats at Williams, Renault and Toyota. I wonder how many more seasons Ferrari can be so dominant. The only reason the teams are getting into the same camera shot as MS is b/c Ferrari are working on next year's car and have abandoned development on the 2004 while the teams are still working frantically to start producing results (McLaren f'rinstance). MS will hit 100 I'd say it's almost a sure thing.

1. No way will Mika come back for any amount of money.

2. Ralf & Jarno.

3. Probably not as Jaguar. But if they do come back, then DC in one car. If no Jag, then drivers a toss up.

4. Is the Pope Polish?

And in CCWS, will Memo keep the Rocketsports ride for the rest of the year? He was faster than Tags, until he spun.
