    I think it's great Seb Loeb will be back only if it is for 3 rounds. I'm also sad for Craig Breen & his co-driver who are sitting out those 3 rounds. I like Craig Breen & feel he will be a serious contender given some more wheel time.

    It will be good to see him in WRC. Sometimes after a driver has sat out coming back is not what it’s cracked up to be, I hope that won’t be the the case for Love.

    Always hard to come back.. I respect mike and Icemans return to F1. But to my limited knowledge know one has returned to the pinnacle and dominated like they did when they were there... and yes iceman (Raikkonen) didn’t dominte.. but he took a mediocre team to a contender then got picked up by Ferrari. He also has some of the best “radio†quotes IMO while doing that..

    The Kimster is the best when he hits the press to talk button.

    Very few racers have been good rally drivers, it's such a different discipline. Only one I can think of is Vic Elford.

    Leaving F1 & coming back a few years later is pretty hard. The tech of the car & how they must be driven is constantly changing. Coming back with your old game may not work. It sure didn't for Micheal Shumacher. I really felt bad that he came back & couldn't be as good as he was.
