Bivši timski kolega Michaela Schumachera smatra da je njegova odluka o povratku katastrofalna.
Irvine o povratku Michaela Schumachera
Eddie Irvine, otvoreno priznaje da nije imao talenta koji bi mogao da parira Nemcu tokom zajedničke karijere u Ferrariju, i smatra da Nemac nije trebao da se vrati u Formulu 1.
„Na papiru njegov povratak i nije loša ideja“, rekao je Irvine za italijanski La Gazzetta dello Sport
„On je svoj tempo počeo da gubi i tokom 2006. godine, kada je Felipe Massa često bio bolji od njega. Tri godine kasnije, izgubio je još više svojih preformansi, i to je ono što je katastrofalno.“
On je rekao da Schumacher treba da prestane da traži opravdanja za loš tempo i da prizna da je Rosberg trenutno bolji vozač.
„To je novi tim, sa novim ljudima. Pa i tokom prve godine u Ferrariju sa lošim automobilom, on je zabeležio tri pobede.“
Irvine se takođe suprostavio i konstataciji da je Schumacher dobar u izgradnji tima po pitanjima budućeg razvoja.
„Ferrari ga je doveo u tim zbog njegovog talenta, on nije imao pojma kako se automobil ponaša.“
„Sjajan je vozač, da mu date kutiju sa četri točka on će umeti da je vozi, i to veoam brzo. Šumaherova snaga je voznja i ništa više.“
Schumacher se vraća u F1

“For me, it’s just a question of age,” Prost told L’Equipe. “I think the tyres are just an excuse, because Schumacher always adapted to any sort of car. It’s just not possible to return to the top after being away for three years at that age. It’s a matter of physiology.”
Prost also suggested that Schumacher’s approach to his comeback was wrong, creating unrealistic expectations.
“He should have said he was coming back to help Rosberg, or Mercedes in its first year, or his friend Ross Brawn. It would have been easier for him,” Prost said. “It may have been a lack of humility, but I think he saw himself as more powerful than that.”

U takvim uslovima skoro sve zavisi samo od vozaca! U takvim uslovima se vidi da NIJE za penziju - naprotiv! Jer, kako neko "mator" "vidi" po kisi, ne izlece, niti se okrece? Kako neko "mator" ne izgubi koncentraciju tokom toliko naporne voznje?
Kako neko toliko "mator" obrise ko od sale aktuealnog svetskog sampiona u mnogo boljem bolidu?
Da nije SC davio i gnjavio onoliko krugova, siguran sam da bi po kisi Sumi ob®isao Masu, a mozda cak i... Jer: po jakoj kisi se vidi ko je dominantan vozac - po suvom se vidi ko vozi superioran bolid. Weber i Baton su tipican primer da se sa superirnim bolidom moze svasta, ali da po kisi oni ne mogu nista! Stoga:
Ziveo Sumi, slava Seni!

Nova staza, svima nepoznata, klizava i bez kise - a tek po kisi... Plus nikakva vidljivost...

Opet si previdio neke "sitnice", da ga je mladji timski kolega tukau u Q, da je taj isti mladji kolega kao od sale obisao tvojeg favorizovanog trkaca u mnogo boljem bolidu...
Fakat, Dedi je ovo najbolja trka sezone, ali i dalje mrsavo za 7strukog sampiona sa preuvelicanim ocekivanjima.

Mogao se ugledati na Najdžela i proširiti svoju popularnost i zaradu na tom kontinentu.
Bolelo bi ga ćoše za ovo spletkarenje u F1.......

* Mercedes news
Pirellis might not solve Schumacher's problems - Brawn
ESPNF1 Staff
January 7, 2011
Ross Brawn has warned that the new Pirelli tyres will not be the answer to all of Michael Schumacher's problems in 2011.
Schumacher made a stuttering return to Formula One in 2010 and struggled to come to terms with the relative lack of front-end grip from the Bridgestone tyres compared to when he last raced in 2006. Last year Brawn explained the problem: "Michael's deficit was generally in slow-speed technique, not high speed, where bravery and car control are the factors."
Brawn is confident Schumacher is learning after an "encouraging" finish to the 2010 season, but admitted the Pirelli tyres could not be seen as a magic bullet for the seven-time world champion.
"It's a little premature to say that," Brawn told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "During the tests in Abu Dhabi we didn't see any big differences in performance compared with Bridgestone. But it is clear that in changing the supplier, the car will have to be different and there may be a lot of changes during the winter tests."
When asked what he got Schumacher for his 42nd birthday earlier this week, Brawn said: "I didn't have to think about a present because I already know what he wants - a competitive car."
He added: "I am sure he will have a better time this season."

Michael Schumacher hit by illness in Mercedes simulator
By Sarah Holt
Michael Schumacher has to combat bouts of sickness when preparing for grands prix in the Mercedes simulator.
The 42-year-old was regularly beaten by his team-mate Nico Rosberg in 2010 but Mercedes say Schumacher's limited time in the simulator was not to blame.
Mercedes explained: "Throughout his career, Michael from time to time has been susceptible to simulator sickness.
"It hasn't adversely affected Michael's race preparation or competitiveness with regard to his team-mate."
Since the testing allowance was reduced to 15,000km in 2009 and a ban on in-season testing introduced, the majority of Formula 1 teams have increasingly relied on simulators to prepare for race weekends.
Teams are secretive about their simulators but they typically consist of a replica cockpit which is raised on a moving, hydraulic platform in front of multiple screens.
The drivers use simulators to familiarise themselves with the circuits, tyre behaviour and to try out different car set-ups.
Schumacher struggled on his return to F1 after a three-year hiatus but Mercedes say the seven-time world champion's aversion to simulators has not affected his ability to recapture his best form.
"[Simulator sickness] has affected the length of time that he can spend on a simulator," the team added.
"This is a relatively common occurrence for many people in all fields of simulator activity including military, aircraft and racing cars.
"The simulator is one of a number of tools which drivers use to prepare for the race weekend [but] Michael has not been disadvantaged as together with his engineers he has made his simulation work effective."
Mercedes are building a new simulator which team boss Ross Brawn believes will be hugely beneficial to easing Schumacher's problems, however it will not be fully operational until 2012.
Mercedes added: "The situation has been exacerbated by the level of our current simulator technology.
"For many reasons, we have invested in higher quality and more realistic simulation equipment which will be completed and available for our drivers shortly."
Both Mercedes drivers are expected to get back behind the wheel of an F1 car during the first pre-season test in Valencia next week.
