Of course he does. He has already said publicly that he's not the driver he was 10 or 15 years ago. For a 42 year old man to hold a candle to the best drivers in the world in contemporary Formula One machinery is truly incredible.

Schumacher has nothing to prove to anyone. He has no unfinished business. He missed driving racing cars during his 'retirement' and decided to come back. Unlike most other ex-F1 drivers, the door to Formula One was reopened for him. He took the opportunity and he's enjoying what he's doing. If he wasn't, he would have no need to turn up at the next race.

Didn't look like he was enjoying it in Turkey. That said, Monaco, dispite the car failure and especially Canada he looks like he's enjoying it more.

I've raced karts for 30 years, purely for enjoyment. It doesn't mean that I've enjoyed every time I've been out in kart though.

Uhn... I'm sorry if I didn't make any sense in english, sometimes I forget that being sarcastic doesn't have the same effect in different languages. I'm not sure what you understood, maybe if you tell me I can rephrase the sentence...

The phrasing is a little unusual, but the meaning is quite clear.

Nope, still don't know what this is about - sarcastic or otherwise. Anyway, maybe we could get back to the thread topic ?

It seems that Schumi has admitted this season hasn't been that good for him(see the link below).

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/210620...tions-met.html

Schumi has been good in his performances since Spain. A shame his car went bang on him in Monaco and again a shame that the Canada race he didn't get on to the podium. I still think that if he isn't consistently good this season, say without a podium or two, he'll retire at the end of the season.

Possibly, but I think he's more likely to call it a day when he's not enjoying it any more.

Returning to the original question, I'm inclined to go for 2/3 Flash in the Pan and 1/3 real improvement.

And the Mercedes is not a dog. It's just not quite as good as the top three cars. Whether the car is fast or slow, the fact remains that Britney has got more speed and better results out of it than TGF (nearly all the time).

The difference is that the team doesn't center on TGF, like his past teams did. Brittney is there for the results, TGF for development. Besides, to have TGF racing is still a huge marketing factor.

And TGFs development and team building skills are I would venture are better than anyone else's. I think that TGF has far from written off his chances of beating Brittany though.

Not this year he hasn't. Just look at the last two GPs, what has Nico done?
