Michael Schumacher Will Need Mercedes Insurance

The doyen of the teutonic F1 scene, Michael Schumacher, and former multi World Drivers Champion has announced his F1 driving comeback at the age of 41.



Schumacher has today announced his intention to drive in next years 2010 F1 season for the Mercedes Brawn Team, in the position that was left vacant by the departure of current F1 World Champion Jensen Button to rivals Mclaren Mercedes.

The drive is worth an estimated £6 million for the season, although already sceptics are lining up to doubt whether he will go the whole way.....

Schumacher speaking on Sky News, said that he has been in training all summer and autumn to recover from the neck injury that kept him from replacing Massa in the Ferrari team back in June, and that he felt 100 per cent capable of the drive.
He is also looking forward to competing against some of the younger drivers like Massa and Hamilton for the first time.

In reality it will be difficult for Schumacher to compete against the likes of Hamilton and Button at Mclaren, whose cars were getting better with every race towards the end of last season.

There is though the 'Button' element that gave Brawn such a flying start last season when every one in the Motor sports world had written off their chances before the start of the season.
With Ross Brawn at the helm and Schumacher at the wheel anything can happen....

Then there is also the question about engines. surely Mercedes will favour their own team over McClaren?

It's going to be a very interesting 2010 F1 season......

In the meantime Michael scumacher is going to need Mercedes Insurance for all those lovely Courtesy cars and gifts that the Mercedes-Benz people are going to shower him with..

Brooklands enjoys Motor Sport again - Aston Martin Triumph!

It was fantastic to see last night on the BBC, the spiritual and original home of UK Motor Racing, The Brooklands Circuit in Weybridge, Surrey, stage motor racing again and break new motor racing world records!

It was also great to see the Aston Martin DB9 beat the Mercedes SLR!



Well OK, they were only toys, but you've got to admire how someone like Top Gear's James May managed to rally all those thousands of people to build the miles of track and get thoroughly involved in a fascinating TV programme.

May and helpers pieced together 20,000 sections of track over the original 2.75-mile (4.42km) circuit, which was closed in 1939, to set a world record.

His attempt was officially scrutinised by Guinness World Records and filmed as part of a new TV series May has made looking at how boys toys can be real boys toys!.

Brooklands opened on 17 June 1907 and closed at the outbreak of World War II in 1939, when the aerodrome was requisitioned by the government.
It had two banked sections nearly 30ft (9m) high and cost GBP150,000 to build.

Sadly much of the old track has now disappeared to be replaced by housing and industrial estates which has to be traversed. The track had to cross a river and busy roads to complete the circuit.

Once the track was finished, local residents and museum volunteers raced against a team of Scalextric Club members and enthusiasts and the locals were victorious in the DB9. Perhaps May's love of Aston Martin's Insured the locals were always going to win.....



So how come James May gets to make all these fantastic TV programmes about Cars, Booze, Boys Toys.......
