Can't the Sauber team just get a new engine supplier or do BMW own the team and therefore just folding up the lot?
Bring back Cosworth, Judd, Lotus and Lamborghini I say...

He is still contracted until the end of the season.
Plus Alonso will be the next Ferrari driver FOSHO.

It's probably a gentleman's decision also, think about it, Massa played a very big part in Schumacher's title attempts, to have one of the greatest drivers and an old teammate to come in and keep your seat warm while your on the mend is very fitting.

Dont think he'll be as good as he was, he hasnt driven this new car at all from what has been said and he wont get any practice time in it either.

He'll be right. I bet he is a damn sight more competitive than Nelson Piquet, Adrian Sutil etc.
Be brilliant if he was quicker than Button too.
Hamilton vs Schumacher

You're forgetting the Ferrari car is still far from the fastest.

Yeah I guess 2nd in the last GP makes it pretty slow.

One race doesnt mean anything
They are still miles behind the likes of Red Bull and even the Brawn to some degree, and Id hazard a guess the McLaren is a faster car.

No it doesn't but that is the latest form of the car isn't it?
Unless they royally cock something up between now and then - which I guess is possible with how fast the development of the cars has been going this year.
You said its far from the fastest, there was only one car out there that was faster at Hungary so as the car stands in its current form I beg to differ

One race means nothing, or you can point to the first race and say the same thing you're saying now about Toyota.

All this no testing bollocks...
What is to stop Ferrari from taking MS and a car to a track and testing...all they would have to do is ensure the track wasn't well known and that no press or photography was allowed?

I said the exact same thing in Gen Chat, and also got the same response. They've averaged 4 points a race this season. One race means Jack.

They'll just use the Practice sessions before Valencia to do that. No point risking it.

Latest race means a lot as most of the bigegr teams were using new iterations of their cars, so one race does mean jack

No it doesnt, one race is not enough to pull conclusion from.
The red bull is still probably the best car, yet they only got 3rd and a retirement. Highest Brawn was 7th behind 5 other teams, but their car isnt only the 6th best.
