Edito : the hopes of the Schumacher generation

« The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield, » says a quote from Oscar Wilde. Thus, may have interpreted the media frenzy around the back of Michael Schumacher in Formula 1, more on a German car, a Mercedes. Hope to rekindle interest in Formula 1 and the generation Schumacher. Many journalists write about the topic, discussions are going well, even people who do not know Formula 1 ever spoke to me last week. Schumacher is a myth, images of a champion and the controversies also did not forget. Still, his return was orchestrated and updated this year by a serious rumor every month since August From the time Schumacher has agreed to replace Felipe Massa at the European Grand Prix in Valencia, the media machine was launched.

Who remembers the rumor of a rumor in October when Schumacher said on his website: « I expect a return, but who knows what will happen. (..) The risk is calculated. (…) ». And again in January this year: « I had two good opportunities to return to competition, but I immediately drove the desires of my head. « A year is long, even for a star driver once more.

But reading the reactions of fans, it’s nostalgia that transpires. Old Formula 1 is always better than new. That may be true, but it is also false. How successful have their driver come back? Andretti, Lauda, Prost, Mansell (in 94), but remember that his return has received the blessing of Bernie Ecclestone. This is not the case back to Schumacher.

This generation Schumacher, who begs his return, has known only Schumacher to his television, as others have experienced Senna. But Formula 1 has survived after Schumacher, and live very well without his back also.
