i think thats why his not coming back... when you look at him... his in no neck brace he can freely move his neck... as if he cant drive an F1 car...Quote:

sore loser IMHO...
^^ it wouldn't really matter what position he finished if he had raced, the fact that he was back in a F1 car would of been awesome too see again.
i honestly dont think its coz he knew he was gona get owned...
he had a press conference a couple of days ago and u could tell by his body language and the way he spoke that he was honestly disappointed about not being able to race...
his manager is not ruling out a return still... i wont be surprised if he makes an appearance at Monza or the later gp's (in the ****pit)...
its a different story when ur neck has to withstand 4-5 lateral g's... for an hour and a half....Quote:

You don't need to be in a neck brace to not be able to drive an F1 car. The majority of us here with perfectly healthy necks won't be able to withstand the g-forces either because we have not been training our neck muscles. Heck, when I was driving the slightly faster go karts on a tight track, my neck got stiff and aching from only 15 minutes of driving! Can't imagine how bad F1 would be on the neck.Quote:

Eastern creek is easy. I can do that for many many sessions. This one I went to in Melb, I was literally starting to faint when taking the corners. I remember slouching over the steering wheel and trying to turn the wheel using my whole body weight because I was so exhausted in that first 15 minute session! After the two sessions, my neck and arms were sore and I had bruises on the inside of my knees because I was using them to keep me centered in the kart as I slouched over the wheel.Quote:

come on guys its Schumacher... his apparently the Chuck Norris of the F1 world... as if he cant handle a bit of extra weight on his neck...
anybody know who will be driving instead of him????
^^^ the ferrari test driver, lucas badoer or something.

I raced karts when i was 14 till i was 17 and did some testing in a formular Ford your body gets used to it but if you hav a pre existing injury and hav been out its hard to get back and in schumi s case its a serious injury and i dont think he would want to comeback unless he felt he could be competitive it would jst put a black mark on a otherwise steller career
