Micheal Schuhmacher is back

Yesterday was a day surprising news. First off came the announcement that BMW-Sauber is withdrawing from F1. I personally find that sad, knowing how much BMW invests in white-hot technology. But drastic economic situations call for drastic actions. Well nothing much to say about it now, they are gone and there are two more spots for new teams next year.

Next came the news of Microsoft-Yahoo coming to an agreement. Though this was not a surprise, with tech channels hinting at this for the last few days, it was still a good thing to get this out into the open and counter the who-should-not-be-named of search! it is probably time to start using bing for googling.

But the icing on the cake came later in the day when Schummi, decided to help out family ferrari and his friend massa to get behind the wheels of the red prancing horse once more. Honestly I am as excited as a kid before christmas. But I am so fearful that this could turn out to a damp squib. First off, the field has changed, and God how it has changed. With Kimi, probably the most daring of the lot, sitting in the same team, with lewis sitting in a quicker car, with sebastian and jenson in much better cars, the next race is anything but predictable.

My bets are on the silver arrow with lewis leading the way, followed by kimi and sebastian, the brawns too close behind. But the euphoria that is gripping the sport just because of schummi announcement may make miracles, though without todd and brawn... schummi is going to need quite a bit of luck to make a mark on the track in 21 days.

But what a long 21 days of wait this is going to be for me.... hooray to the sport. Finally!
