Schumacher will only go to a team who can get him wins.

BMW F1 is second rate.

Thx Nikos but I am sure he will not. 1st he already signed for Ferrari for 2007 and second although I love the brand but the cars are crap, so doubt it pretty much that he would change now to a looser team-sorry but after Toyota for me they are. Good news is that during our visits to BMW facilites they mentioned that soon different development will try to improve the performance. I am very much waiting for it,

OTW I would happy the best driver (German) in the (best sedans branded) German F1 car
Yeah ats but it's their 1st year as a new team and more seriously they will be a FRESH NEW team only from 2007 when they will dump Sauber. What would you expect?! Pole positions and in the top 2-3 manuf? I for one overall am pleased with the effort of the team and with the car. They were pretty bold to try those new tall wings on the front of the car in the last race although they look pretty ugly, in F1 matters more the perfromance and less the esthetic. Let's not forget that they went into the superpole with both drivers plenty of times, but i agree they need to work on the car more (but they are on the right pase, no way crapy cars) and they have to get better drivers. IMO they should dump Villneuve. How many times have you seen (if oyu actually watch every race) bmws going head to head with mclarens and even surpassing them on the track? Of course none of the drivers from bmw aren't Kimi but as car performance i think the car is pretty good. Really. Work on more to go into the top. As for toyota i don't have to remind you the budget they have (the bigggest in F1) and still they struggle.

I thought he had a "lifetime" contract with Ferrari?

I say so too.


F1 is so full of BS rumours, but who knows...

Shumi to BMW, Kimi to Ferrari...


The Sauber-name will for sure be dumped soon!

The BMW Sauber F1 team is already beating the Toyota Team!!!

Who are you - Dr. Evil?

I know you are just relaying what you heard, but IMHO, nobody would be dumb enough to pay anywhere near that money - it just makes no economic sense. See recent article below:

Schumacher to stay at Ferrari if he continues in F1
By Volker Gundrum
Apr 25, 2006, 19:00 GMT

Hamburg - Michael Schumacher will stay at Ferrari and not move elsewhere if he decides to continue his illustrious Formula One racing career beyond the season, his manager, Willi Weber, said on Tuesday.

Weber said that Schumacher would continue \'on the same terms as his current contract\' which is said to be worth an annual 35 million euros (43 million dollars).

Germany\'s Bild daily reported earlier Tuesday that Schumacher has been offered such a two-year deal by Ferrari which he only needs to sign.

Kubica - the Polish test driver will be driving for BMW in the Hungarian GP. Fingers crossed that he performs as well in the race as he did in testing all season. First ever Pole in Formula 1 (if you don't count Pole Position). You know who I'll be supporting...

Your bratanki is cool but sorry in a BMW we cannot except any results. The Merz will be boilt, who is Alonso.

and this small mf said on TV that MS got its penalty as he overtook but when we see the rev-clip actually FA braked so Schumi had to take over. Nice of Renault when they scr*wed in the race, they do nice tactics, like why let MS win, make him "stupid", we will see, and hopefully he will be on top!

He came 7th despite spinning, then destroying his front spoiler and finally was disqualified because the car was 2kg (4.5 pounds) too light. His first ever Formula 1 race and his first time in ANY race for 8 months. Kubica will rock - let's see if BMW has the brains to keep him on board for Istanbul.
