Superb news

 

[ROVERT47]

The long lensed paparazzi are going to be out in force.

 

[Nando]

Fantastic!

 

[The Bear]

Brilliant news. I just hope he recovers fully.

Schumi out of his coma and no longer in hospital.

Excellent news, as I for one never thought this day would come.

However long it may take, may he continue with his recovery.

Not necessarily anything changed according to Gary Hartstein, former F1 doc.

I don't think that's very helpful at all, shit stirring at best from someone with no direct knowledge of the situation. Bit of a cunt's trick if you ask me.

I don't think it's that bad, seems to me that he's just trying to say that they haven't really said anything regards to improvement or decline, in fact there doesn't seem to have been any change either way in medical terms other than he's no longer in the hospital. I suppose he's just trying to put the dampeners on for anyone who's getting all giddy thinking Schumacher is on the way back now when there's not really anything to suggest that's actually the case.

An emotive subject though so it can easily strike a nerve, especially with someone like Schumacher who has such a following.

 

[The Bear]

He's just pointing out the facts of his condition and the terminology used. He's probably right.

Lucky boy Vettel!

That's a nasty bump on that grass.

 

[Carrotdude]

That was impressive! I saw that the stewards are looking again at the Massa/Perez incident, I still don't think it was Perez's fault.

 

[The Bear]

Stewards have upheld the penalty.

 

[Nando]

Well in Felipe! Seb trounced again.

 

[Kenny]

Massa on Pole with Bottas in 2nd Rosberg 3rd and Hamilton messed up both laps in Q3 and starts in 9th (no time set). Vettel struggled and nabbed 13th but will start in 12 th due to Perez's 5 spot penatly.

Great stuff for Williams though, they out paced Nico.

[Kenny]

Maybe Mercedes have declared?.....

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I wonder if Williams are finally back as one of the top teams?

 

[The Bear]

If they are within a couple of tenths in qualifying at the next race then maybe yes.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Vettel gone, no luck at all this season.
