My outstanding memory of Schumacher is the 1999 Malaysian GP. Nobody had ever driven on the circuit before, and Michael himself had not driven a car for 4 months having broken his leg at Silverstone earlier in the year. He returns to F1 after such an absence, at arguably one of the most physically demanding tracks of the year, and sticks it on pole by over a second.
Very similar situation here. IIRC the Valencia officials are making some changes to the circuit anyway, in light of last year's dull race? If so, Michael will not be at any significant disadvantage to the rest of the field IMHO.

True. Imagine him putting it on pole by a second again
although his machinery will not allow it.
For the record, I don't think he must be allowed the tests with the F60 beforehand. Nor do I think he will need it. 100 laps in free practice on friday and say 30 on Saturday should be more than enough.

It'll be interesting to see how he copes with a car not designed for him. It's often said he had a unusual driving style. I just hope Ferrari don't revert to their old ways and forget completely about Kimi. A proper battle between them in similar equipment, wherever in the order they may be could be fantastic. If Ferrari are on their game by Belgium, Spa could be an epic.

The 2008 was designed for Kimi and Felipe, yet Schumi blew away the whole field in pre-season testing.

Prost blew the whole field away in 2001 pre-season testing. I'll reserve my judgement until racing. As it happens, I expect Schumi to do good.

It was entirely a coincidence.

Ferrari blasts Williams over test snub
Ferrari has accused rival team Williams of showing no sense of fair play in its refusal to allow Michael Schumacher a special familiarisation test in the Maranello squad’s current car.
A news item entitled 'Indiscretion' read: “Guess who opposed the test with the F60?”
“A team that hasn’t won anything for years and yet didn’t pass over the opportunity to demonstrate once more a lack of spirit of fair play.
Just for the record, the Scuderia Ferrari had given its approval to let Alguersuari test, but it seems even in this instance someone decided to stick to the precise wording of the regulations.”

Oh dear...this is all starting to get rather schoolboyish.

Yeah that was my first initial thought. How does a rant like that make it onto Ferrari's homepage? That sounds more like a Facebook entry an angry employee would make.

Schumi's not even in the car yet but Ferrari is back to old days, fabulous!
