and the fact that it's now a potentially competetive german team, and the fact he's rumoured to be earning £20m which is 4x more than ferrari were paying him as an advisor.

I'm not saying anything till I see the times he's laying down, it's a complete mystery tbh, relatively new car, old driver, new regulations since his last GP.

...such as the no contact rule ol:.

Hes earning 6.2mill (Released in press confrience today, will find link tomorrow morning, tired and wanna go bed atm) However this is not including sponership money, which would bring it to around 24.7m (Lucky git)

He also stated the only reason that made him return to F1 was the Sch/Ross brawn tie-up (its in the bbc interview on bbc sport). Ovouisly the fact its all german and mercadies must of come into play though.

Its nice to see him returning, and it will be time for our all british team to kick the arses of the all german team!

McLaren vs Mercaedes. Cannot wait.

Good point, two british championship contenders yano

The real reason he didn't go to Ferrari is that Ferrari didn't want him, they're perfectly happy with Massa & Alonso, they simply don't need him.

Looks a good setup for next year, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes all with decent line-ups.

Edit: It's just occurred to me all of Britain are resting their hopes on McLaren, if they have a bad car then that's both British drivers out of it. Atleast last year when the McLaren wasn't on form, Brawn was. And when Brawn wasn't, McLaren was.

They may be a couple of drivers for smaller teams representing Britain? have ALL teams been announced as yet or not?

Do you think they'd go that far though? They are supposed to be team mates after all .

Your actually incorrect, ferrai spent over 5m in legal fees trying to get permission to have a 3rd car to be able to run schumacher, the reason he didnt go to them is becuase he didnt want to. Ferrai offered him a contract before alonso and he refused. Ross brawn rings him up and he agrees a contract deal that day, the fact is, they are the most formidble pairing in the world of f1, they won 7 world drivers titles togeather over 2 teams and 9 Constructors championships togeather over 2 teams again.

Going to be a good year.
