I would like to make a bet based on this silliness.

I was actually bringing up the question of will Rosberg be forced to act as No. 2 for Lord Schumacher? It's happened in the past, 'ya know......

He may be the past, but he's now running in the present and future (3yr. contract in the works)! As a 40 something, I have to hope the old guy still has a few tricks up his Alpines for these Playstation punks.

Schumi - Schumi - Schumi!!!!!!

Love him or hate him.....I will not miss a single race....and I may actually have to make a trip up
to Canada this year. Only got to see him race and win once - at Indy in 2004. Would be very
cool to get a chance to see him race, and possibly win, again.

I was thinking more in the line of "team orders". MS IS the past. Not sure if Nico is the future, though. He has been a mixed bag in F1 so far.

As far as your bet is concerned, first, its illegal second, we won't know about "team orders" (illegal too) and third, I bet the points are A LOT closer than you think!

Just wondering what people miss about MS? Punting other drivers in an attempt to win, blocking the track to try and take pole, making sure that the team orders a win and then denying the whole thing....., what? Sure, he was good, but fun to watch? Fun was the Flying Finn, JPM beating the crap out of the car (w/o hitting another driver) or Alonso in the all out drives in 04. 05 and 06. Or all Senna races except his last. Really people, MS wasn't interesting.

No, the bet was silly and did not address what I was talking about. Heck, should we bet on poles, wins, WDC or WCC? Based on this year, who knows what will really happen next. The Merc could be a back runner for the 1st 1/2.
