2017 Sauber F1 Team - Ferrari

[PlatinumZealot]

It is a problem that now the drivers need necks like Thor, as soon as they get a neck injury they're basically incapable of cornering.

When I saw that Roc car land on top of wherleins head I had Instant flashbacks of jules. Even tho he got out and walked and i know some post inflamation must have happened. Poor chap probably been suffering from headaches since.

I remember Half Schumacher after the IMS crash 2004 was cleared in the USA, but then was diagnosed with a 2 spinal fractures when he got back home.

Probably what happened to PW

[NathanOlder]

Which Half of Schumacher was injured.

Sorry couldn't resist.

Half Schumacher! Never heard that before, hilarious!

Any news on the driver situation at Sauber?

And as we speak:

Wehrlein to miss first Barcelona F1 test

He'll be replaced by Antonio Giovinazzi, since he's already in the factory to do a seat fit.

This reminds me of the one legendary Michael Schumacher who was rumoured to make a comeback in F1 back in 2009 to replace the injured Felipe Massa, but because he had a bike accident and injured his neck, he wasn't fit enough to do the job.

I was thinking actually exactly the same, yeah.

Would be interesting to see how the deal looks concidering that three teams are involved and hear the reasons for not going with a Merc affiliated driver.

[FW17]

The Merc Driver is broken

There are not many 3rd (reserve) drivers around for the 2017 season

[Sniffit]

One of them, there is also Rosenqvist and Mehri.

[WaikeCU]

Or you might as well put Gutierrez back in that Sauber, but then I wonder why you should, because you would still only notice one Sauber on track.

[Gridlock]

You skip tests to recover more fully for the part that really matters.

[FW17]

Would additional cockpit headrest be allowable?

[Gridlock]

The Williams FW40 render has just such supports.

[FW17]

Meant the black part
