Schumi calls off F1 comeback
Aw, crap !!!!!
Just when I was looking forward to the prospect of watching Michael Schumacher return to Formula One at Valencia on 23-Aug…
Turns out he’s cancelled his plans to return to Formula One owing to fitness concerns.. namely the neck injury he sustained early this year while riding a bike. He said,
“The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident in February, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe. That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by Formula 1 yet.”
Readers will recall that this situation came about thanks to the horrific crash suffered by Felipe Massa during the qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Ferrari’s reserve driver, 38 year old Luca Badoer would drive for them in Valencia.
Sigh… the season continues, I guess…
