I don't think I can buy you a drink at MotoGP...

[yonson]

That's what makes this so compelling...how will he do? How rusty will he be? Will he show up an unmotivated Kimi?

IF Kimi drives like he did in Hungary it should be a good race!

sorry

[cASe SenSiTive]

But you guys realize that he won't be very competitive at all right? At least IMO...in-season testing ban FTMFL.

Are there any rules on how much you can run a previous year's car?

Also, how the hell do they truly enforce a testing ban? I've never really understood that. Ferrari has their own track for fucks sake. How can anyone prove that they were testing their current cars?
I mean, I understand that it's more valuable to test at the upcoming tracks, but there's still benefits to simply running laps, and I'm really not sure how they police that sort of thing.

Ferrari has their own track for fucks sake.

Schumacher testing old F1 car at Mugello

By Pablo Elizalde Friday, July 31st 2009, 10:38 GMT


Michael Schumacher has began his preparation to return to Formula 1 action at the European Grand Prix next month.

The seven-time world champion will replace Felipe Massa in the Valencia race as the Brazilian continues with his recovery following the accident he suffered at the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend.

Schumacher travelled to Ferrari's factory in Maranello yesterday, where he worked at the static simulator to check the functionality of the steering wheel.

The German has borrowed an F2007 car and he is reported to be testing at the Mugello circuit today since 11am.

Schumacher admitted that he is trying to get as much mileage as possible before his return, even if it means driving old cars.

"There is this test ban in Formula 1, therefore I contacted some of the guys from F1 Clienti if they could give me a car," Schumacher wrote on his website.

"Although those cars are not current or last year's ones, I simply like to drive as much as possible, so this is a good option. The next weeks will be totally on preparation then."

I bet every other driver on the grid (especially "Hinney Agawagshami" at STR, along with Franz Tost) is thinking "why the fuck didn't we think of that!"


Lastly, I love how the Chin says "call up the guys, see if they've got a good double world championship winning F1 car around for me to kick the tires with"

I guess having your own track has its perks

i knew there was a loop hole somewhere

I've never read any of this before

A clever one to boot. He can't race test the F2008 because Ferrari still owns the vehicle, but because the F1 Clienti program means people get to 'own' the car (even though they never get to take it home with them) it gives Schumi the freedom to drive the car outside of the regs.

Now whats to stop the "Clienti" car from requesting aero mods added to his car (a-la-09 spec)

[Dazed1]

Anyone who thought that he would not test a car, or drive A F1 car before the race is a fool. This is Ferrari & Schumi. Bernie & Max will do whatever it takes to keep them happy
