Michael Schumacher To Return To F1?

[Fabio]

Just a couple of months after Michael Schumacher cancelled his comeback to replace Felipe Massa because of a neck injury, there is a lot of sources suggesting he could be back next season driving in the now Mercedes GP team.

After Mercedes had bought Brawn GP, it was made clear that Jenson Button was not wanted and a German driver partnership was wanted, early indication was that Nico Rosberg and Nick Heidfeld were lined up to join the team as the drivers for next season.

But after days of speculation, the story is developing that the 7 time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher could be returning to F1 in a Mercedes GP in the 2010 season, reports say he had recently signed a new deal with Ferrari, but it did not involve F1, it was more of a Ferrari Road Car testing contract.

This story is sure to develop in the next few days...

That news is old about him replacing Felipe Massa, I just referred to it to start off the topic, I am talking about the latest news.

I would like to see Schumacher return to F1 again but i hope Raikkonen will get a contract with some team for 2010 season. My favorite driver

Michael Schumacher has always been my favourite driver, but I am also sad to see that Raikkonen has not got a team for next season currently, maybe he and Schumacher could partner at Mercedes GP!

I thought he said he is not going to come back  :roll:

[MarioRinarri]

I have stopped watching F1 after Schumacher's resignation because it simply got boring.. I'll be happy to see him again if he returns.

I believe he will NOT come back to the 2010 Championships,
Reason Being is He has a contract also with Top gear as 'the stig'

In my opinion this will take some excitement out of the racing of this year because whatever happens in F1, controversy, overtaking, it all gives Formula 1 the excitement.

more fuel = napalm bombs on wheels, i just hope none will live what Niki lived...

On the contrary. Now most drivers will not overtake others due to pit stops. With less stops, strategy will play a less important role and drivers will have to overtake more.

As for Schumi coming back, it would not be a good decision. First of all the current cars are no where near what he was used to, and as 2009 showed not many drivers could handle a car without a lot of testing.
Secondly, he has nothing to gain except money. If he wins people will point as Mercedes and Ross Brawn. If he loses people will tell they knew he was never that good...
