Now all he has to do is deliver. Talk about a big burden on his shoulders to succeed. Glad to see him back.

too bad Rubens didn't stay at MBZ, he could've raced MS again, possibly with no team orders to let Michael past.

Hopefully he won't run people off the road towards a championship. Let the cheating begin.

It will be weird not seeing him in red.

I hope he does well,...really well. I would like to see him get an 8th title before retiring again.

I dunno, I think there's a good chance ferrari could walk away with this year. They've been developing this years car since melbourne. I'm not sure how much of a contender Brawn (Mercedes GP) will be against that since they ran a championship programme on a shoe string budget this year, and are likely running to catch up now that they've had this cash influx. Let's face it the major reason why brawn and red bull did as well as they did this year was due to the diffuser design and we could see that advantage dwindle as other teams caught up, they took a chance on an interpretation of the rule and were correct as such that paid dividends, however I don't think those chances exist with the current rules. USF1 will be a joke.

That could be very true^^, but even if Ferrari does walk away with it this year, we could still see some competitive/exciting racing between the rest of the teams that are towards the pointy end of the grid.

How things turn out is anyone's guess, but I could see maybe Mercedes/Red Bull/Mclaren possibly having good battles.

If anyone walks it, I would expect McLaren to be the one doing so. They came on strong from Hungary on while the rest stagnated. The wildcard is the lack of refueling which Brawn has never experienced while McLaren and Ferrari have.

Great, so now he doesn't have to drive a Fiat minivan anymore, I guess he can get an R-class as his family car.

It's even funnier that Piero is not the natural son of Enzo but everyone considers him to be.

That's going to be interesting. Alot of credit for Schumacher and Brawn's success over the years was their refueling strategy.
