Of course, Schumy's one of only 5 dirvers at the test to have raced with F1 slicks IIRC (Rubens, DC, Trulli and Fissy being the others) - so he'l have a slight advantage over the other drivers, but I'd expect these slicks to be fairly different to those used back in 1997

Off-Topic I'm not sure on this one - Ralf has shown some speed in the past, and Macca could do with someone with his experience alongside Lewis given his inexperience - Heikki and Nico are both better drivers than Ralf IMHO - but I'd imagine neither could add anything near as much technical know-how as Ralf. However, i'd say Fissy is probably the best bet out of the currently available drive

F1 Ralf issues McLaren declaration

"It's no secret that the seat at McLaren-Mercedes is by far the most coveted there is," the 32-year-old German told Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
"Every driver out there in the market would love to sit in their super car.&q

Other Sports EPL tv rights won't go down at all - they're all secure for years yet AFAIK, and the failure of England to qualify has nothing to do with the popularity of the EPL in Africa or Asia (where the rights are worth far more than in Britain itself.

F1 Lola have nowhere near enough money to build and design an F1 car - they're still in masses of debt due to the '97 car, and losing the CART contract and the MG Le Mans pull-out a few years ago have really hit them hard. At the moment they're just struggling to survive and an F1 project is completely out of the question

F1 Crvena Zvedza a small team? They won the European Cup in 1991, and have won 5 out of their last 8 national championships, as well as 19 Yugoslave titles until the country split in 1992. So while maybe not at the level of skill as the big teams, they've got far more European heritage than Chelsea and Arsenal.
I agree with Hubbins though, they should just reorganise European football the wa

F1 IT is awesome music - probably the best that Lloyd-Webber has written (although that's not saying much). However, the plot and drama are miles behind that of Les Mis. Which is a shame, because the book is powerful and beautifully written - it just lost something being transferred to stage.
