Pirelli think Schumacher will win in valencia.
Looking foward to the conspiracy theories if he does.
He'll lead the race and then get a puncture for apparently no reason.
I wouldn't like the thread title changes only because I don't watch the races live and I'd be afraid of spoiling myself via subscriptions.
Same here. I support changes based on the locations/GP's but not results.

Total earnings: $32 million
Salary/winnings: $29 million
Endorsements: $3 million
Alonso remains the highest-paid driver in F1, earning close to $30 million annually from his salary with Ferrari. The Spaniard sits near the top of the 2012 F1 standings and is gunning for his third World Championship.
#20 Michael Schumacher
Total earnings: $30 million
Salary/winnings: $20 million
Endorsements: $10 million
Schumacher came out of retirement in 2010 to race full-time for Mercedes in a three-year deal. The results have been disappointing for the world’s most decorated Formula One driver. He finished ninth and eighth overall in the final standings in his first two years back.
#24 Lewis Hamilton
Total earnings: $28 million
Salary/winnings: $25 million
Endorsements: $3 million
Hamilton is a free agent after the 2012 F1 season. He is expected to have many suitors as Hamilton is one of F1’s most talented and marketable drivers. His current team, McLaren, controls almost all of the sponsorship rights to Hamilton, but he was able to ink a lucrative deal with Reebok in 2008 to be a global ambassador for the brand. It is his only personal endorsement deal.
Michael with only 10 million in endorsements? I find that hard to believe. Wasn't he the first sports figure whose net worth went above 1 billion?
I think you're confusing Schumi with another Michael (Jordan)
Temp ban, he'll be back soon. The ban was unrelated to this thread.Wait...I just noticed that Foliorum is banned?? Wtf happened?

As always, here the training program from last race in Canada;
-481Km bike
-36 Km run
-11h swim
-2h gym
-5h (tennis, soccer, etc...)
Wait...I just noticed that Foliorum is banned?? Wtf happened?
I never knew the slag was so popular.
Very underrated athletes along with Ballet dancers.I know there is this argument if Formula 1 drivers (or racing drivers in general) are real athletes, but after seeing Alonso's training program, I really don't know how anyone could bring that up again.
How many days does this span? I could pull that off I think. Alonso is very fit.I know there is this argument if Formula 1 drivers (or racing drivers in general) are real athletes, but after seeing Alonso's training program, I really don't know how anyone could bring that up again.
2 days I suppose, just before the race weekend starts on Friday. Start on a Tuesday, finish Wednesday, then a rest day before Friday's practice.How many days does this span? I could pull that off I think. Alonso is very fit.

Isn't he your better half?

Has to be more than 2 days, because that is basically 40+ hours worth of stuff there in the list already.
Really, the only people that could think that are people that have absolutely no knowledge of [modern] F1.

He was probably being too agro somewhere. I often wonder if that guy has clinical anger issues. Never before have I been called a cunt so many times.
Nah, it has nothing to do with anger issues, it's really just you. Believe me, you almost got me banned few times.
Don't let his sinewy exterior fool you, the guy's as fit and strong as a Derby horse.I don't think all F1 drivers would train that hard.
Vettel certainly doesn't look like he does.
I knew he was incredibly fit (since they all are), but I guess he just focuses his attention away from pure muscle and instead elsewhere.Edmond Dantès;39050333 said:Don't let his sinewy exterior fool you, the guy's as fit and strong as a Derby horse.
Edit: FWIW, was great seeing Brundle actually driving during Le Mans. Given how they finished (after their problems) Jr. might have a future...
Likewise with Damon Hill.I don't think there could be a better parent to have than Brundle Sr for trying to get into the Motorsports world.
Oh, I meant in F1. I didn't actually see him drive and I have no idea how old he is, but to endure Le Mans and still finish it (like I said) reasonably well apart from a few issues... hope he does do well. Hell, Webber had a Le Mans drive under his belt not long before he started with Minardi (though Paul Stoddart being team owner certainly helped, too).I don't think there could be a better parent to have than Brundle Sr for trying to get into the Motorsports world.
Likewise with Damon Hill.
It'd be good to see Alex Brundle and Joshua Hill in the sport soon.
Couldn't watch with sound, but saw the first few seconds. Glad he's smiling! And also glad about the Russian Helicopters deal... must go some way to ease some of the abrasiveness that would've come with almost *any* Russian in an English team.
