Looks like The Comeback may not be happening after all. Michael Schunacher's neck injury - caused by falling off a motorbike - is giving him some problems and may prevent him from racing in Valencia, maybe at Spa too. Which is going to be a big disappointment for the thousands of fans rushing to buy tickets for both events.
Probably not as big a disappointment as that that will be experienced by Schumacher, Ferrari and Bernie Ecclestone. Ferrari have put all their eggs in the Schumacher basket and if he isn't going to be able to race whoever comes in to replace him is going to be starting from absolute zero on Friday in Valencia.
I'm thinking that Bourdais should be put on standby - or maybe Piquet who is also now on the market. Both have experience of this years cars and, in Bourdais' case, the Ferrari engine that powers the F60. Neither will come close to Schumacher's draw and the attention his return is generating.
