Michael Schumacher has refused to rule out the possibility of making a return to F1, revealing that his neck injury is on the mend.

Earlier this season, Ferrari fans let out a cheer as the Scuderia announced that Schumacher would replace the injured Felipe Massa in the European GP.

However, that joy soon turned to disappointment when it was revealed that the neck injury he had sustained in a motorbike accident earlier in the year meant it was not possible for him to race.

But with that injury finally healing, Schumacher says he could yet make a brief comeback.

"From now to the end of the year, my neck injury will be healed to the point where I could drive again," the seven-time World Champion said in an interview with Der Speigel magazine.

"I have nothing to prove to anyone, not even myself. I still slightly regret having retired three years ago but there's no reason whatsoever for me to definitively announce that I will not come back.

"The life I lead makes me happy but who knows that will happen a few months or a year down the line?"

not in a meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellion years

Toyota are continuing in their pursuit of Kimi Raikkonen with team president John Howett revealing that they have offered the Finn a contract for next season.

Raikkonen is without a 2010 race-seat after agreeing to part ways with Ferrari a year earlier than expect, earning the 2007 World Champion a hefty pay-off.

Subsequent rumours have linked him to a possible move to McLaren while Toyota have also expressed an interest. In fact, Howett says they've even put an offer on the table.

"We don't play too many games. We put on the table what we can afford and what we think is a serious offer in the current market," he told Reuters.

"I think genuinely we could work well with him, give him a car that's quick.

"We have had very good relationships with Scandinavian drivers in the rallying times that enjoy life and it works very well, so we could cope with it as a team."

As for existing drivers, Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock, neither driver is assured of a deal for next season. Howett did, however, admit that the team has made Trulli an offer, although they not sure if he will accept.

"With both drivers we are still maintaining a degree of discussion," said Howett.

"We have put an offer on the table with Jarno, I think that he himself is not dissatisfied with the financial offer, the bottom line to some extent is certain issues on the contract and I don't think they are negotiable from our side.

"He may well be in the car next year but it's not at all clear."

Another option available to the team is Kamui Kobayashi, who made his debut in Brazil, replacing the injured Glock.

"I thought he defended well, he retook Jenson," said Howett. "He's fearless and did a good job to get past Fisichella.

"He was a bit off the pace overall but it was very impressive. You have to say we have to give him serious consideration but still pace-wise he was a bit slow so we have to see."

Off the pace? Howett has always been an overpaid idiot...the guy's first race in a car he hardly knows and has driven during the season...not even a seasoned veteran like Fisichella in a much faster car could do as well as he did...what a retard Confused

I tellin allyuh Kimi and Hammie on the same team gonna be volatile, egos will get in the way. Kimi deserves to drive for a top team but i not sure about Toyota being a wise choice, if all else fails he should just take his big payout from Ferrari and walk into the sunset towards WRC.

Freelander · Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 11:48 am Post subject:

i dont think kimi and hamie would be volatile at all, kimi's ego is high but not in the form of conflicts. Unlike alonso kimi would prove himself ont he track and not whiine and cry like a girl.

thats the one thing i like about kimi doesnt give a firetruck about nobody else and does all his business on the track.

^ agreed

noshownogo · Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2009 1:12 pm Post subject:

In F1, success is measured by Team first then Driver, several young talented drivers fail to realise this and believe the opposite, hence conflict of interest.

Schumi understood this approach and even after he became a multiple world championship holder, he would still comply with team orders. In current driver lineups I'd regard Rubens as a similar driver, coincidence that he also came from Ferrari, maybe/maybe not...

what team orders schumi complied with? "Michael, you will win today" "OK Jean"

Rubio was the team orders bobolee in that team

Former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt has been elected president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

The Frenchman beat his only rival, Ari Vatanen, in a secret vote of FIA's general assembly in Paris on Friday.

He will succeed Max Mosley as the head of world motorsport's governing body following the Briton's decision to stand down after 16 years in the job.

Todt, who had been a strong favourite after receiving the backing of Mosley and Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone, gained 135 votes compared with Vatanen's 49. There were 12 abstentions/invalid votes.

Vatanen, a former world rally champion from Finland, had fought his campaign on a ticket for change and broader democracy within world motorsport.

But Todt, riding on the success of his glory years with Michael Schumacher at Ferrari, enjoyed establishment support and ended up with a crushing victory.

The 53-year-old's immediate focus will be on restoring the reputation of F1, motorsport's marquee brand, in the wake of a difficult period.

Vatanen would have gotten my vote

Hopefully Jean Todt brings some realistic and beneficial changes to F1, next year's talk of 1 fuel load for the entire race is rubbish imo.
