Very well said, Peter.

Within the next fortnight, I expect Villeneuve will be announced as a driver in the Lotus F1 team, with Kobayashi a strong contender for the second seat.

There is only one reason why Schuey would come

back,his ego.

That is the reason why he will not,he knows he will

get beat.

Gamemanship,don't think so Peter,he was a cheat.
