If that is indeed the case I will be there too. The wife and I wanted to go this year, then it was dropped from the schedule.

How about those pics of Massa, his face is f-ed up. He's lucky to be alive though, I'd take the scar's over the alternative anyday.

Agreed. At this point I'm just glad he's alright.

Count me in as well. I was there last year and had a great time.
Hope Schumacher makes it back soon. Looks like there might be an issue with his neck injury from his motorcycle testing crash earlier this year.

Start a new thread. It was a major hassle to merge a new poll into this thread.

I forgot about that accident, hope it isn't too much of an issue.

Schumi will NOT be making his return to F1. I am truely saddened by this news. Seems his neck injury is just to severe to cope with the force an F1 car generates. Another sad day for the Scuderia.

I think it has to do more with other factors also.

There is a good chance Schumi may never return to F1 given the type of injury (spinal) he has.

I would love to see him back. If not for all us 40 somethings. But the man has more money then he has years left to spend, might as well not risk his health or deal with pain if you dont need to. Plus why tarnish a stellar career with a very real possibility of just being a mid packer...

He made the best decision for him, no need to go out and risk your body like that.
