I'm more excited about the possible return of Luca Badoer! Could he possibly remove himself from the F1Rejects website? I can't even think of a similar situation with a previous driver, has a backmarker driver ever waited 10 years before getting a race seat at a top team before?
I don't really know how well Badoer will do, he's quite old now and his only results were in Lola, Forti and Minardi. He has nothing to lose in his reputation though, only gain.
In an F1 car which has loads of G forces and a compulsory helmet and HANS device? Think about what you post, please.
He's their official tester along with Gene. He has experience of the car and the team. They are obviously more than happy with the work he does in testing or he wouldn't have been their tester for the past 10 or so years. Italian Karting champion, Italian F3 champion & F3000 champion is not usually attained by rubbish drivers, and his F1 cars were tail enders.
I think you'll find he's under contract at Renault.

Not much to look forward to in Valencia, snoozefest
Am I the only one that feels this way?
Now here's my Conspiracy theory.
I seriously doubt the severity of Michael's neck injury claims, if there's still one anyways. He did a full grand prix distance in his first practice session in Mugello and I didn't hear about anything major last week.
Maybe Schumacher wouldn't come back unless he was positive that he was up to speed and could potentially win races this year and used this neck injury claim as an excuse not to come back if he wasn't in order to protect his legacy. There might still be a neck injury after all but what really bothers me is the amount of distance he was able to cover in the F2007 on slicks with this kind of injury.
