    Schumi and A1GP

    I just read a great article about the possibility of M. Schumacher driving for team Germany in A1GP. I know, I know, sounds ridiculous right?? After reading the article is seams plausible.

    I can PM you the link but it is well worth the read.

    Neither can I. Why would Schuey do that to himself? As much as A1GP is seen as a different series, a lot of countries are using it to prepare their drivers for other series like Formula 1.

    What it needs is some really big names, which it hasn't got at the moment

    The article talks about the Ferrari engiine deal and an A1GP round in Italy as well. With Schumi in a car he would be bringing in Schumi fans as well as Ferrari fans which all adds up to more $$ for the Ferrari brand. It also gives Schumi a chance to race again without being subject to all the "is he too old" criticism of a return to F1. Then it goes on to say that should that happen, it may draw in other "former" F1 stars like Fisico and others that have lost seats. Could you imagine Alonso on his year off driving for team Spain???

    No.

    As sweet as it sounds, I don't think this will happen. Well to be honest a1gp is not in any position compared to lets say gp2 as a gateway to F1, so MAYBE and this is just maybe it could be a cool-off series for veterans in the future but as for now, no way!
