Ferrari Mailing List: Michael Schumacher

[kjtar (kjtar]

Well, from everything I've been able to find online it looks like it's a done 
deal, all we have left to see is if his neck can take the strain.  Did read 
where there's a GP2 test scheduled for some place in the Middle East-to last a 
week, to see how he holds up.  But, how will you all feel about Michael driving 
for Mercedes-Benz/Petronas?  Will anyone start rooting for him rather than for 
Ferrari as their primary choice?
For me, I would like to see him contend for the championship. I will still root 
for Ferrari as a team, but will be anxious to see how the Massa/Alonso 
chemistry works.  And, lastly, I can understand why Nico might be a bit miffed 
at the hiring of Michael, but it should be a terrific learning experience, and 
Nico is still pretty young, think he'd be happy to a) compete against Michael 
and b) have his terrific developmental talent be a bonus for the car's 
development during the season, which could only benefit Rosberg, as well.

Should be a good season!
