i hear he has to go to the RTA first and pass an eye sight test, and that other teams have complained that he indicates 4km before turning..

there is also the rumour that he wont be driving the ferrari car, rather it's likely to be with toyota, in their new version of the crown.. insiders have claimed that the bowler hat on the back parcel shelf will help with downforce and adds at least 5bhp..

yup basically the only way they could get that Ferrari on the show was if Schuey drove it.....so to make it look like the stig was driving it they put schuey in the stigs outfit got him to do the hot lap. Then revealed himself as the stig. Noticed in the episode they didn't do a Star in the responably priced car???? Thats why.

Schuey isn't the Stig

Yep..Also, Clarkson makes a comment at the end fo the episode that maybe his isn't the Stig after all....Was all for the publicity and to get the FXX on the show...

Was good either way though...

Wow God is back in an F1 car, hope someone explained to him what that little button labelled KERS does.......

I'm no Ferrari fan, but i sure will enjoy seeing the Schu back on the F1 stage, he's such a talent and should see if he'll post a decent result because the Ferrari is finally showing some pace (well in Massa's hands anyway, i think Kimi turns up to races hungover...)!!!

the hottest your tyres will ever get are when the warmers are on em, or they're on fire from the catastrophic accident your bound to have

i think i'd poop myself if i ever experienced a hot lap in an f1 car

gman
31st July 2009, 01:06 PM
Absolutely when I hit the wall...That's the ONLY time they would get hot...

Honestly, I would be happy coming last and just:


Being able to say "I'm an F1 driver!"
Actually driving an F1 car;
The grid girls...Need I say more...

I think it would be easier to wrest Ferrari away from Fiat than pull Michael away from Ferrari. That would be the only way to have him on your team. If you were Ferrari!!!!

Interesting you hear everyone's point of view on this one.
Was reading an article in fox sports news last night that there's some controversy as to whether Schuey should be allowed to test the car before practice/qualifying etc or not.
Almost every team had no objection apart from Williams (IIRC), who said that there's not allowed to be any mid season testing, regardless of the special circumstances, and cited something about some new young driver i'd never heard of not getting any special treatment.
So what do people think, should the rules be twisted for the unusual situation, or is williams right by saying no special treatment?
Discuss :p

From what i know, he's been allowed to drive the '07 car, but i think it's stupid, he isn't going to affect the drivers championship and as for constructors Ferrari is not really in the running anyways so i say let him drive the car!!

Also from what i'm hearing, Massa is recovering very well, so Schumi may only be required for the next race, again another reason to let him test the car beforehand!!

gman
10th August 2009, 05:40 PM
Its a tough call...IMHO, let him drive it...But then again from a regulations point of view, no one else is allowed so level playing field and all that stuff...

He's driving the old car, the differences are going to be huge...Its going to be a big ask for the first race....

10th August 2009, 05:50 PM
It is a tough call but I think Williams may be right this time. Fair enough Shu should be allowed to put in some laps in the current car, however as if Ferrari wouldn't take advantage of the extra track time to test new components and aero changes...

gman
10th August 2009, 05:52 PM
exactly....and thats the reason why no one else has jumped to their aid on this one....

Well yeah that was pretty much their reasoning for them only allowing him to drive the '07 car, so he can get the feel back of a general F1 car, but not a car closely based to the F09 that Ferrari can use it for other testing!!!
