Maybe Hamilton giving a press conference announcing his decision? I must say that all things point to Nico being paired with Hamilton for 2013 and Schumacher retiring at the end of the year.
maybe if your only news source is british

well kravitz is saying the same news is coming from german sources.

if theres any truth to it its going to be the biggest dissapointment of the year, to be shoved out a team, again, when hes performing better than ever, and better than rosberg.
what BS!

I´ve touch upon it before, in his second GP return, the Marussias is starting to move.

I would much rather see Pat Symonds then Bell as head, i don´t care he´s cheater, to win you have to go to the extremes.

I don´t see any real hint towards Schumacher facing kick out in german media .
F1Total.com is close to "bild" but No single mention of Schumachers drive at risk during the last days...very telling that "NEWS" are made in this world...

daimler is NOT going to drop Schumacher and just think of a scenario when Schumacher leaves for Sauber or even more embarasssing for RedBull....and is winning...jesus christ that would be the worst case scenario you could possibly imagine and of course a MARKETING Nightmare....you could never ever compensate with Hamilton

hear hear -Schumacher finally using the tactics that are needed + Rosberg using the same ..as usual.
somebody in this team does do whatever the other does...I see no reason why Rosberg should be the one who is leading those decisions.
Schumacher beating Rosber´g in qualy ...this year the rule not the exception?

A good move to plan far all new tyres in the race and sacrifice one or two possible gridslots.Hopefully prime tyre first tommorrow....the fitting strategy when you have no chance to win the race with consevative tactics.

It has been the best strategy by far, they were not going to gain any position in Q3, so they needed to try another alternative.

I like to see how Michael is capable of beating Nico in q3 or q3 when Nico has beaten him all the weekend. :D

What Hamilton is thinking about when he want to go to this MIDFIELD team ? I though he wanted to won many championships...

Once again, Red Bull/Mclaren/Ferrari, but also one Williams, Force India and Lotus are faster than both Merc.
6 cars faster, as usual since Monaco. Sometimes a little bit better, sometimes a little bit worse. That's the sad truth about the W03.

I find it quite amusing Rosberg mentioned Webber as the most competitive teammate in his years in F1 -when he now gets regularly beaten up by an old man .
Sure he will find a miriad of explanations why this had to be maybe a bad tyre set again?

With Perez scoring second places from not very good starting slots all year its rather obvious you should not aim too high in Q3 ,just do enough top get in or close without using up too many fresh tyre sets.

so planning for the weekend should start with a clear agenda on how many fresh tyre sets are needed for the race ,especially when your car has a unusual appetite for the black stuff and safe those for the race .
Then try to move up as far as possible with nwhat you have left over.

Hamilton is not considering going there ?!?

i think that hamilton will definately join mercedes gp as there are rumors of them using ground effect sidepods next year which will give them 50% more downforce and 23.34% less drag

If it's true, and it's known now, it'll be 0 advantage by the start of the season.
