I'm not quite sure what to think of this 
I have never really been a Shumi fan, but it would definately be interesting to see what he can do with the car that Felipe and Kimi have struggled with all year...

Although they are good friends, Webbo will be licking his lips.

Shumi's first ever supporting role?

Thanks GhoGho for posting the news here, it came out very early morning our time
It is surprising that they have announced it so soon as I would have thought they would need to assess how long Massa will be out. It appears that Massa prefers Schumacher to drive in his seat and obviously it is a good opportunity for Ferrari.
It isn't clear yet whether it is only for Valencia or more races. That will certainly depend on how quickly Massa recovers. This is all pending a fitness programme for Michael to see if he is indeed ready.
For Michael it will be challenging but what does he have to lose ? Neither Massa nor the team will be able to fight for the championship so if he doesn't perform it won't really matter.
If he doesn't do well he can blame his age, if he does well, then it will be another achievement by the 7 times world champion.

He actually supported Irvine in 99 to be fair!

We have added a poll at the top of the thread on how Michael will do at the European Grand Prix.
Add the exact position you think he will finish in or the reason for his retirement and if you get it right, you'll win one of our prizes.

Wasnt that only due to his Silverstone crash?  He missed a large amount of races that year...

The cheat is back!!!! Only to embaress himself 
What is a 40 year old doing with a 19 year old I wonder 
But there is no Todt and no Brawn so no other cheaters around 
But I love it, just watch Schumacher and Hamilton take each other out as each tries to outbrake the other with their KERS 
I think Ferrari will be praying Massa gets better as soon as possible!!
Seriously though, why not, I very much enjoyed Alonso beating Schumacher and I will be enjoying it again

This could be good for RBR.
Schu is single minded enough to get third, but I think 4th.
Lol, just saw that I've been a member for over 4 years, and this is my first post.....Hi all.
