Schumacher and F1

I don't know if you guys like auto racing..Never really got into Nascar but for some reason
have started to follow F1. Saw a race in Montreal and could not believe how many people are into it...The cars are pretty cool... 8-)

These racers make some decent cash...Not bad Schumacher 1 year $10 million...

What do you think?

F1 is the king of the motor sports, no doubt! Schumi coming back? Good thing for the sport, but I doubt he will be as fast as he was 3 years a go. :popcorn: And Kimi going to rallying is a great loss! :scream:

F1 is much better than Nascar. All they do is go around in an oval. See Doug's signature :mrgreen:

It takes real SKILLS to be an F1 driver. Not a big Schumacher fan here. Not that he was not an excellent driver, it was just his smug attitude that bothers me. Been rooting for the new blood Hamilton since he started. He's a natural.

I love racing and just got into being a spectator. So far the F1, Indy, and American Le mans series are my favorite. Love the GT cars.

F1 has a special appeal The cars are not particularly fast as far as top speed goes, but they do everything so well. All around the most advanced racing on 4 wheels in the world. Hamilton is such a great driver.

Indy racing is great because of the mix of road and oval tracks. Besides that Danika needs my junk in her cake hole.

The American Le Mans series show cases so many different cars and allows for true driving skill to show as they have real traffic. The new Corvette team looks like it may just become a leader. The prototypes are similar to F1. So fast and agile.

NASCAR is what it is. Still fun to watch on the super speedways. 200 mph is just too cool not to watch. I wish they did more road courses, but those big chunky cars are too much for the smallness that is a road course. Marcos Ambrose is a stud.

Been an F1 fan since the mid 80's. Started following Schumacher when he was driving Group C cars for the Mecerdes "junior" team, which was frequently faster than their veteran teammates car.

A part of me is glad he is coming back, but since he got out of the sport healthy, and set every record imaginable, I would frankly like to see him stay retired.

We were fortunate to have great seats for the inaugural F1 race at Indy a few years back. Super cool....and Schumacher won. 8-)

p.s. the $10million is a downgrade. When he was driving for Ferrari he was making in the 30mill range. :thumbsup:
