Still Wondering
F1 News
Malaysian newspaper The Star is into numerology with its F1 analysis. Within their speculation we find out that Lotus will announce their driver team next week. Villeneuve continues to be high on everyone’s list of names that will be announced.
Jerez is busy with F1 testing as the young guns fire up for testing. BMW Sauber is there to honor its commitments. In Monday’s first round Andy Soucek led the field of F1 hopefuls.
For all the speculation about if and when Hinwil F1 will make its appearance on the grid list preparations for the new season must continue. Currently the news is about drivers. Crash.net has seven drivers in competition for the open slots with de la Rosa and Petrov as the front runners bringing skill and money.
After putting together my brilliant plan in the Rumors Silly Season and More section I checked back with a few web sites for Jerez updates and found the following.
Baguette has been added to the Sauber-Ferrari lineup.
Heidfeld is still confident he will end up with a good ride. Now add a line item in the Silly Season.
Rumors: Silly Season and More
I think Crash has it all wrong.
Sauber-Ferrari will announce Michael Schumacher Nick Heidfeld and a rookie (possibly Petrov) as their drivers for 2010 and in the process secure the teams spot on the grid, secure sponsor dollars in a major way and set their direction for at least the term of the new F1 racing formula. Schumacher will drive in the 2010 season with the intention to transition into the role of team principal in 2011 taking it over from Peter Sauber.
Remember this section is has the word Silly in its title.
- Schumi has been kart racing and still working out to prepare for what?
- Ferrari wants him in a third car but has been rebuffed by other FOTA members so why not put him in a car with a Ferrari engine?
- Peter Sauber has taken back the role as team principal but wants to turn it over to someone else in the future. Schumi wants to stay in F1 the transition from driver to driver/principal to principal could work. It is not unheard of for a Ferrari driver to become a team principal. Gerhard Berger did it without the driving part when he became a principal in the Red Bull/Toro Rosso early years.
- Ecclestone would be overjoyed. He has often said that Schumi’s return would be great for the sport.
- A return like this would lower the expectations on Schumi to be an instant champion while giving Sauber-Ferrari credibility at the same time.
- Nick Heidfeld will be the number two driver bringing continuity for the first season and will assume the role of senior driver in the subsequent seasons.
- The focus for driver testing now is to find a ‘test driver’ who can do that job as he is being seasoned to move up into a full time seat ala the experience of Sebastian Vettel with BMW Sauber F1.
I like it. It gives Hinwil F1’s struggles a happy ending as Sauber-Ferrari, brings back Schumi for me to cheer for and others to hate and gives me a reason to follow F1 again.
