Monday, 5th November 2007 Is Michael Schumacher in the frame to fill Alonso's seat after just a year in retirement?
Speculation that the seven-times world champion could join McLaren has been rife since Williams' Patrick Head suggested that Schumacher Snr "is still fit - and probably bored", after he made way for new World Champ, Kimi Raikkonen at the end of last year.The Williams co-owner suggested that Michael might be a good choice for the the Mercedes-powered team amidst reports that McLaren is trying to install Rosberg alongside Hamilton for the 2008 season.However, despite Head's assertion that McLaren is in a position to offer the kind of salary that Michael Schumacher might demand, Mercedes' Norbert Haug has said Alonso's replacement will need to be "quick and inexpensive" - almost certainly ruling out the former Ferrari ace, adding that there is "no time frame" set out for naming the Spaniard's replacement.
McLaren's CEO, Martin Whitmarsh backed-up Haug's claims that there is no rush to confirm the 2008 line up in The Guardian newspaper saying, "Until the second McLaren drive is sorted out I don't think you'll see much movement [in the driver market], so we're not really hurried."The British 'paper also revealed that Ralf Schumacher's management had approached the Woking-based team, but it was quickly made clear that he was not on the short-list.
I would REALLY REALLY like to see that happen ! Scummi getting his ass kicked by young Hamilton to finally dismiss the best driver of all times crap !
But I am willing to bet almost anything that Scummi is too much of a chicken to take on that challenge
