There does appear to be a certain level of unrest at Mercedes GP, and I wonder whether there is some sort of split between the old Brawn team and the new Mercedes owners. Maybe the former were not totally enthusiastic about Mercedes wish to have MS in the car, although that's unlikely given the links between Ross and Michael.

All speculation of course, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly happy camp. Their results make that somewhat inevitable but there seems to be a bit more to it than that.

I can't help but finding this situation quite ironic, considering the treatment some of his former teammates received. It's pretty amusing.

Definitely not the last we'll hear of this.

No. I think that he is saying that unfortunately his side of the garage has trouble preparing the set-up for his car. Like they did with Jenson for the better part of the 2009 season.

Like who? Nobody in the junior series seem very special. And from the rookies even Hulk does not seem extremely quick.

I am sure there are at least 5 drivers in F1 that are no way near MS' level till I don't see people complaining this much. :\

Those that are no good and pay for their seats and are driving really bad cars are not judged as harshly as a billionaire driver paid big money to be constantly beaten by his team mate... there's just no justice... who can understand this world? who? :rolleyes:

Yeah that's quite funny. Now Schumacher and his fans know, how was Barrichello feeling once. Or Alonso's experience in 2007 showed, what his former Renault team-mates had been feeling previously. Karma. :p :


As for the criticism of Schumacher, it is relative and also depends on which team he is driving for. Even Massa's seat is questioned now despite him having been a title contender two years ago. If Schumacher was driving for Virgin, none would call for his sacking.

So to whom he should give it to?
Maybe Scott Speed, the guy who showed so much promise?
Maybe Liuzzi, the guy who has so taken advantage of the 10562 opportunities given to him in F1 and even has beaten his teammate once in every 15 races.
Or maybe to Yuji Ide, the guy who made all other F1 drivers look second rate, before bad luck, not lack of talent, but bad luck ruined his career.
Or maybe the seat should go to my personal favourite, Anthony Davidson, who surely is a world champion in making and who once in a while even managed to beat Takuma Sato?

Being serious Garry (go on, give it a try ;) ) what would be wrong with young Sutil?

With Heidfeld left on the bench, I don't see the justification in having Michael in the seat.
