Schumacher is back!
01/02/2010 20:35Michael Schumacher, the 7 times world champion of Formula 1 is returning to the racing track. After 3 years of retirement the former Ferrari pilot decided to give it another go, only this time in a Mercedes.
The 41 year old German started to think about the big return last year when Ferrari asked him to fill in for their injured pilot, Felipe Massa. At that time things didn't work out for Schumacher, his previous neck injury prevented him from racing. This time he is in perfect condition, willing to race again. Since Ferrari already had their drivers and Mercedes gave him an offer he couldn't refuse, he'll be driving a Silver Arrow this year.
Experts say Mercedes has hit the jackpot with Michael. The marketing value of his presence is invaluable, but at the end, the championship is decided on the track. We'll be looking forward to it...
