Controversial opinion time - The Schumacher camp does sort of have an obligation to Michaels fans for more information about his condition. Its been almost three years now shrouded in secrecy. Yeh right to privacy blah blah blah, but the hundreds of millions of dollars Schumi made were because he was a public figure! Even at the time of his injury he was still collecting paychecks as a brand ambassador for probably about 20 different things.

Doesn't need to be a full access, cameras at his home, interview with him (not that we know either way if he is even actually able to do one). Just an official statement with a bit more detail on his condition will do. Or will the next statement end up just being one announcing he has died? The unofficial reports seem to go from extremely grim all the way to 'is walking with assistance.' Some might say its none of the public's business, but when you have made yourself a public figure it in a way does become public business.

He's dead. hth

race tires on road are a great idea, ask me!

I don't think the public has any right whatsoever to know more about his condition. If it was me I'd hate to have the public constantly digging into my personal business. Let them know I had an accident, that injuries were serious and that's it. If I recovered, I'd make a statement, if I died, let them know in dead. They don't need to know the details, it's none of their business.

I mean really the dude was in a medically induced coma for 8 months, was "woken up" and for the next three year hasn't been seen in public or made any sort of a statement. It's not that difficult to read between the lines on this one.

I wish some of the backmarkers would go nuts with some crazy asymetrical livery. Sauber and Manor just look like no-name dollar store toys. There's nothing memorable about them in look or performance.

I honestly think Manor have one of the nicest liveries on the grid. The Sauber on the other hand...
