Earlier this week we saw that Michael Schumacher’s decision to help the Scudaria Ferrari team by taking the place of the now hospitalized Felipe Massa.  In an effort to get Michael up to speed on the newer F60, Ferrari have asked all the teams permission to allow Michael to try out the new car.  Currently, under the rules there is no outside testing allowed durring the racing season.  However, with the approval of all the teams, some cases have been approved.

I just don’t get it. Some teams are just not understanding of the situation. In the case of Red Bull, they “chose” to let Sebastian B. go when they didn’t have to. Whereas, Felipe Massa got into an accident and was hospitalized. Now Ferrari do NOT have a choice and need a second driver to complete the team.  Is this not a “safety” issue?  How can you expect anyone to get into a vehicle and race it in anger and not push the limits of the car?  This is Formula One… arguably the highest form of motorsport!  There should be some sort of ruling to allow for teams to test in situations like this.  Even if there has to be an FIA official to make sure that they are not modifying the car or have new pices on the car.  I just don’t get it.
