I am looking forward to seeing some of the upcoming battles and particularly looking forward to seeing Schumacher back again. I may watch more races this year.
Also looking forward to seeing Raikkonen in the WRC too.

You don't just lose that instinct overnight anyway. Take Colin McRae for example, he left Citroen in 2003 and didn't return until 2005 with two WRC's with Skoda, and nearly earned them a podium in a car that was slower and less evolved than the rest of the field. Thats what talent alone can bring.

Yes, there no more traction control, but we now have slicks. It is still a car with a seat, steering wheel and a fecking powerful engine. Schumi will be fine.
Button hadn't driven the 2009 Brawn GP car until 2 months after every other team had tested theirs. On it's first outing he was 0.7s quicker than anyone else. So to say that schumi will be crap because he hasn't driven a 2009 spec car is very silly thing to say as it you have nothing to back it up with.

As far as cheating is concerned, if you took every driver out of F1 that did things they know they shouldn't the tracks would be empty.

No body cheats like shoe maker. The English lads will need to watch their backs with him on the track. Now he's over the hill he will need to cheat even more than usual to make up places.
I predict that most of his results will be outside the top ten or DNFs due to crashing.

and i disagree with Schumacker being better in the wet, He would maybe be on par with Lewis or Vettel both of whom are fantastic in the wet

I was hoping he'd come back to Ferrari so I could continue wearing my perfectly decent coat without the embarrassment of being years out of date. 
Besides that he's not coming back to be second.

Even a great wet weather driver can seem average if the car isn't set up for the wet weather. Watch Schuey at Spain in 1996 or Spa in 1998 (before the dolt that is DC eased off on the racing line) and see a master at work, but a few years later the same DC beat him in the wet when the Ferrari was set up for a dry circuit.
Hamilton, Vettel and Schuey are all great in the wet in the right car and I really am not sure who is the best. My intuition says Schuey by a whisker.
Mind you then there was Ayrton

Apparently no more fuel stops allowed next season too. Means races can be won on the track rather than in the pit lane (shock horror!! 
)
That might help also.

Except they still have to stop at least once to change tyres thanks to the utterly daft two compound rule thereby somewhat, but not entirely negating the benefit of the no refuelling rule.

Can't wait. I think it's fantastic for the sport. Just hope they've developed that Brawn car cause whilst it was leagues ahead of the pack at the start of 2009 it was probably only the 3rd fastest by the end of the season.

I am guessing that without this rule it would still be quicker to run a race on more than one set of tyres?
Under the old refuelling rules, a car was slower after a pit stop, whereas with a tyre stop this will no longer be the case, so hopefully there will be less of the contrived "overtaking" in the pits.
As long as the Mercedes is quick, his return should be interesting.
If it is not - it should be more interesting

Ich bin, kein Zweifel das größte!
Ich kann jene Kinder sogar in einem impreza dennoch alleine in einem Auto F1 schlagen, selbst wenn it' s-Regnen.
Ich habe die Meisterschaft 7mal, das bin SIEBEN gewonnen! Nicht wie Sie auslanders.
Was den Betrug anbetrifft, unser Rennen hat gewonnen immer angemessenes und quadratisches (bitten Sie um um das Poliermittel) oder war dass mein Rennen.
Jetzt wird ein Deutscher mit dem Meister (Rennen) am Rad, ich denken laufen, dass das Resultat auf der Hand liegt.

I am, no doubt the largest! I can strike those children even in one impreza nevertheless alone in a car F1, even if it' S-raining. I have the championship 7mal, that am won SEVEN! Not like it auslanders. Which concerns the fraud, our running has won always appropriate and square (to ask it over for the polishing agent) or was that my running. Now will a German with the master (to run) at the wheel, I think for running that the result is obvious.
Now it all makes sense..
