Montoya to Mercedes in 2005?

just read that... he's been driving for Mercedes since 2005 🙂

Maybe they’ll end up at Ferrari again, like the Prost-Senna days? Who ends up with who... Kimi or Paul?

Kimi !!!!😁

Hannah Sullivan3 said:Kimi !!!!😁

I agree.👍

Hannah Sullivan3 said:Maybe they go back to having a Prost-Senna type setup at McLaren? Who would even take who? Kimi or Pablo?

Since we’re talking about Prost and Senna, here are a couple of interesting things Prost once said about Michael Schumacher:

"What annoys me most is the way certain drivers sign number one contracts leaving the number two with nothing to do but lick their boots," said Prost to The New York Post. "There is no natural, internal rivalry. Michael is an exceptional driver but the circumstances have worked very much in his favour. He has never been up against really sharp opposition either in his own team or outside."

During his F1 career, Michael Schumacher had to deal with teammates such as Piquet (only for a few races at Benetton), Brundle, Letho, Verstappen, Herbert, Irvin and Barrichello while prost was confronted in his team with Drivers such as John Watson, Ren Arnoux, Niki Lauda, Keke Rosberg, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Jean Alesi and Damon Hill.

As for Montoya, people over at Williams are already starting to grumble about how stupid it looks that they know their driver won't be driving for them in 2005. Maybe they'll get fed up with Montoyuz and snap him up for McLaren immediately, which would let Jacques head back to Williams, and so on... 😁

wearyraven41, take those words straight from your mouth and shove them into the ears of Williams--honestly!

Honestly, you wouldn't be able to go five minutes without finding some way to trash Schumacher on any thread... it's unbelievable. 🙂

redheron12 said:I couldn't agree more with wearyraven41!

I’m right there with you on this one!

Elizabeth Hughes says Montezemolo:
Honestly—you’d probably lose it if you didn't find some way to trash Schumacher in every single thread... it's unbelievable! 🙂

Elizabeth Hughes, you're overreacting now—it was Prost who messed up, not wearyraven41! (Whether he actually messed up or just voiced a valid opinion is debatable, but regardless, that's not the point).

Coffee sometime?

It's pretty obvious wearyraven41 has a serious Schumacher complex.. 🙂 🙂

Look, whether it was Prost who screwed up or wearyraven41 just carried the weight of it, it’s all the same in the end. Honestly, at this point, wearyraven41 doesn't even care what they throw at Schumacher anymore; they'll take any shot just to be on the opposite side.

When?

darkscout46 said:It’s pretty clear wearyraven41 has a bit of a Schumacher !! complex.. 🙂 🙂

Not just "pretty clear," let's call it what it is—absolute certainty...
And honestly, he isn't the only one in this thread...

Elizabeth Hughes says Montezemolo:
It wasn't just a possibility; it was a certainty...
And he wasn't the only one involved either...

🤔

Man, Kimi or Pablo?!
david , guys, seriously, david!
It’s not like they’re just gonna toss a seasoned pro out the door to make room for some cold, arrogant rookie, right?

david (in McLaren) forever.

Elizabeth Hughes says Montezemolo:
Alright, so Prost moved on—wearyraven41 passed the torch... it's all the same, really. Though, at this point, wearyraven41 doesn't even care what they're opposing regarding Schumacher anymore... as long as they're against him.

When?

Anytime after 3 PM or over the weekend—if you're around Los Angeles, just shoot me a PM and let's grab a coffee!

...so we can finally settle this face to face... 🙂>

What exactly am I supposed to be settling here? A bill? Honestly, I’m picking up the tab for 🙂
.

Say whatever you want, but Prost is absolutely right because Schumacher never allowed a teammate to possess his level of talent. Besides, that 1994 title was snatched through such shady dealings it's practically ancient history!
If we look at the legends of the past, Fangio had Stirling Moss as a teammate,
Piquet Mansell
Mansell also drove alongside Prost
While Prost shared the cockpit with Senna
Schumacher’s teammates were clearly a tier below him—Verstappen, Herbert, Irwin, Barrichello—they were all drivers who sat one to five seconds adrift of the true elite.
