why do you insist on being rude?

I actually think that Nico is a better driver than Massa.
And Schumi will have his hands full. Nico is not one to be quiet about being undermined and he is coming from a situation where he was the clear #1. I think that they are given equal status in so far as each side of the garage will be pretty much working independently with only the necessary collaboration.
Brawn cannot hedge his bets on one driver over the other, so much like how Ferrari managed the Massa/Kimi partnership, Mercedes GP will manage the Nico/MSC team.
I do predict at least one race win for MSC this year. I have a sneaky feeling that the car is better than they are letting on.

I think he is using a translator so lets not hold that against him. This is not an English classroom but a forum where all opinions are welcome. No matter the grammatical errors.

:laugh:

Let me describe through analogy:
My high level commander in the battle area was Arik Sharon. When he was in the near area the word would quickly spread and even the least consciencous would increase their level of "everything" to its maximum.

Why? We understood only too well that "failure was not an option".

I think people like Schumi have that effect because that is who they are. The Mercedes [Brawn] team will be in a state of ready and action at peak level and Schumi WILL "command" them.

What they saw at the press coference was not Darth Vader - it was an announcement and a warning to all that Schumi is "prepared to die" in the same way that Mansell declared he was in trying to win the British Grand Prix - Nigel Won!!!! :D

Underestimate Schumacher at your peril because he takes no prisoners and gives no quarter.

I think we are about to witness just how tough the new generation of drivers are. A great season lies ahead and the reason is Schumacher :vader:

I couldn't have said it better myself. I think...no in fact I KNOW Shuey will win races. I am not so sure he will win championships. I am looking forward to what could be the greatest season in F1 history.

He is a Sith Lord you know ;) Maybe they will play the Imperial March for Shummi when he wins since they won't need to play different anthems for the driver and manufacturer.

I think in his today's comeback, he wouldn't ask team to do anything for his favor, the contract might not stipulate this clause either, but rather he's signed by the team by dint of his valued career that may benefit team as entirety, tries to implement the best knowledge of his experience during his drive that already gave him such prolonged victories, and would be pleased that any development, strategies contributed to team produce results. Any driver emerged from the team doesn't seem to matter him. However, if the opportunity comes to him, the car can perform in accordance with his champ intuition, he would give the sport great challenges, imo.

I am also not convinced by Nico yet.

According to Brawn Nico has been about .5 secs faster than Schumi in testing, if you equalise the variables (gas, tyres, testing program), so it´ll be interesting to see. Would be nice to see how MSc handles being slower. And how RB handles it.

Anyway, soon we´ll all be wiser.

Hanaa, Nico!

There are some who will argue that, more than a pain in the neck, SchM was a pain in the arse.

Well it seems that the 0.5 secs is correct. Times in the first practise:

8. Nico Rosberg Mercedes GP + 0,616 15 laps
10. Michael Schumacher Mercedes GP + 1,079 16 laps

Thats 4,5 tenths.
