    Badoer to replace the replacer.

    An Italian in a F1 Ferrari, that has not happened this decade?

    I was hoping too see some Schumi action.

    So the cynic in me wonders if it really is the neck injury or the fact he has realised he isnt a quick as he used to be and will probably get his ass handed to him by Vettel

    Pulling Gs ... you make it sound like Driving an F1 car requires some amount of physical strength above the norm ... next you will assuming there is skill involved with it.

    NO !!!! I tell you ..... there is no skill or phisical strength required to drive a an F1 car full out for 2 hours. .... He is just a spineless whinging German

    Hes been testing using last year's car (to avoid the in-season testing ban) and I reckon the results weren't good. He'd only do it if he really thought there was a chance of doing very well and whether it's his neck or otherwise, he's not good enough any more.

    Why do people always have to think the worst of someone ?

    Is it not possible that he thought he would give it a go but the stress of driving an F1 car full out with a previous neck injury was just too much ?

    After all there are people on this board, that complain to this day of recuring pain from injuries they got previously, back problems, wrist injuries, broken bones that still ache .... and all they are doing is going to work or trying to ride a bike normally. Hardly trying to compete as a full on racing driver.

    Give the guy the benifit of the doubt, perhaps it does fcuking hurt breaking from 200mph down to 50mph for a 2g turn

    Or are all you cynics like this because its what you would do ?
