Schumi new merc driver?

[hepcatz]

So, will MIchael Schumacher be driving for Mercedes when they announce the new driver in 2010?

Montezemolo and Bernie seem to think so, and those are two folk that know Michael very well. Nico was already talking junk about Schumi, which isn't smart, especially given Michael's starting strategy of running everyone off course, his propensity to throw down if needed and also his lack of self control regarding crashing into rivals if need be.

Schumacher seems to think so too

He says there is a "very, very, very strong possibility"

Sounds like he will acquire a French accent soon as well. All he needs is to push around a co-driver and he can be Hamilton sr.

Yeah, i think it is a done deal, not sure why we need the NASCAR style fake soap opera suspense by waiting until 2010.

No need to wait, deal really is done.

Shumi is back in the cockpit for Ross Brawn. Just in time for him to get smacked around by Fernando Alonso again and remind him why he retired.

Q&A with Schumi. He's saying he wants to race for three years with Merc.

Marcus Gronholm is coming back for the first WRC round of 2010 (sweeden). I think that's way more exciting .

In terms of WRC, I'm more stoked to see how Kimi Raikkonen will do in his first full season as an offical driver. He has "sisu" and that goes a long way in that sport.

Yeah, I'm interested to see how he does too. hopefully he doesn't crash out all the time like someone else does >_> (no offense to Jarri Matti, he's still bad ass and probably my favorite driver lol)

Petter seems to think he's a top 5 driver, so we'll see.

I'm also interested to see how the Ken Block and Chris Atkinson team do in a few rallies this year in the WRC . I have a feeling block is going to be demolished...
