Yep. I think their goals of winning the championship within 3 years was a bit lofty.

Yep. I love BMW, and Heidfeld is one of my favorite drivers; but he's not a #1 guy. Kubica is like Rosberg, a lot of potential... but still hasn't fully shown it.

Looks like Schumacher is coming back to take Massa's place....

The most important thing first: thanks God, all news concerning Felipe are positive. I wish him all the best again.

I was meeting this afternoon with Stefano Domenicali and Luca di Montezemolo and together we decided that I will prepare myself to take the place of Felipe. Though it is true that the chapter Formula 1 has been closed for me since long and completely, it is also true that for loyalty reasons to the team I cannot ignore that unfortunate situation. But as the competitor I am I also very much look forward to facing this challenge.

Planet-F1 just reported the same thing...

http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,189...460392,00.html

I know he'll be driving a car that really shouldn't win, but if anyone can do it Michael can.

I love you Ferrari, my dream has come true!

Now to make the chaos complete, all we need is for Porsche or Audi to take over BMW's slot.

There's going to be a ridiculous amount of hype around Schumi, of course. Probably the best thing (short of Massa NOT being injured) that could've happened to F1 after the repeated debacles this year. Even if Schumacher doesn't win (and why would he, given the car), at least it should be fun to see him blocking people like mad, esp. given that he'll have KERS. LOL.
