Have you noticed who's been testing for Ferrari? Hmmmm? A guy named Schumi, and apparently he's been super-quick in the '07 car with traction control removed. Makes me wonder if he's warming up to be reunited with Ross Brawn - at Honda...

Schumi at Honda? Doesn't seem likely. However, rumor has it that Alonzo is talking with Honda. Alonzo and Brawn together? What's the world coming to?

I must confess that I view schumi as a motorsport god, so I hope he does something. I was hoping he would go to touring cars, but Ferrari doesn't really do that. I'm pretty sure his relationship is more with Ferrari than with Ross. I do think it's a bit odd that he would risk his life in a "testing" role, though.

not fielded by Ferrari, just Amato Ferrari. Ferrari only participates in F1.

dsmith: I'm suitably embarassed! I know that the show will air on 12/16, but I thought that I was getting info based on the event had already been run, and the TV show was going to be tape-delayed. I'm going to slink away to my room now...
