it would have been good but i think its the right decision if it was causing neck trouble

I agree it's rather disappointing.

Just been looking at this Luca Badoer's Wikipedia and to be honest, he makes Piquet look good. "Badoer holds the dubious distinction of being the driver who has competed in the most Grands Prix (48) without scoring a single point."

Exactly. He drove for Forti which, aside from MasterCard Lola, was one of the most fail F1 teams ever. I suppose you can't expect much if you drive for backmarker teams all your career with a scoring system that only awards points to the 6 highest places, but still!

That's true, he's got the advantage though that he has 10 years experience with the Ferrari car and he's driven it more than any other driver so that could possibly pay dividends.

I would have liked Gene to replace Massa.

Rather Ms, but if he is hurt he is hurt

I disagree that driving for ferrari previously is an advantage because this year's cars are so dramatically different from previous years cars. Even MS wanted a test with it so he could learn to drive it, even after driving for ferrari for 11 seasons previously. I think they'd have been better off going with someone like Sato or Liuzzi or Bourdais who are younger and have more recent experience. Alguesari (sp?) demonstrated you can stay on the pace the first time you jump into a car and those 3 at least have some decent races to their names.

Schumi's defended Ferrari's choice of Badeour (or however u spell it).

Renault has been cleared and can now race in the European Grand Prix which is surely good news for everyone...

Lol Grosjean isn't any harder to spell than Bourdais or Piquet He's supposed to be highly rated so it should be interesting how well he does. That said, Piquet was really good in GP2 and we all know how his F1 career went.
