Another Ralf Schumacher comeback silliness


T-online.de have done the same story twice. As you might know, Michael Schumacher is returning to Formula 1 for at least one race, replacing the injured Massa.
Now T-online.de are saying the same things they did many months ago. They basically ask: Is Ralf coming back, too? But all they do to support this speculation is to bring up things Ralf has already said so many times: That he did not actively approach any of the teams, but if he was asked, he would return.

Let me just say the same thing I said last time: Who wouldn't? Of all the ex-drivers, who of them would not return if they got an offer, unless the reason why they are not in F1 any more is because they actively retired? Who wouldn't?


I am not sure whether they re-used his old words or just asked him the same stupid stuff again. There were only few things that could somehow spice up the article. Ralf said he might go to Valencia to support his brother as a spectator. The rest of the article is just a roundup of the previous events: How Massa got injured, how Schumacher takes his place, and statements from Ralf declaring that Michael will be so great he will beat them all. Yeah... just what the German reader wants to read.

Final verdict: Ralf is STILL not returning to Formula 1. See you next time when there is another far-fetched excuse for more Ralf Schumacher speculation.
