Schumacher Returns To Formula One
Best F1 driver in history Michael Schumacher is poised to make a sensational comeback to the Grand Prix competition in 2010.
Mercedes Grand Prix, Schumacher’s new team, has officially confirmed the news this afternoon as the forty-one-year-old German race car driver promises to battle for the top motor championship on the planet.
The announcement came after weeks of rumours which had been circulating around the paddocks and create an all-German team extraordinaire, with the seven times world champion joining forces with promising budding talent and compatriot Nico Rosberg.
Schumacher’s new teammate admitted relishing the challenge of competing with the greatest Formula One driver of all time, who boasts on top of his seven world championship trophies, a total of 91 grand prix wins with 154 podiums during the initial phase of his career between 1991 and 2006.
Schumacher retired from F1 three years ago, although many have suggested that the champion had been forced of competition by being offered the choice between pulling out of Ferrari or by accepting incoming Kimi Raikkonen, the new driver believed at time to be the German’s natural heir and subsequent replacement, thus pushing out of a seat then team-mate Brazilian Felipe Massa, who he also saw as his protégé.
Schumacher may be reentering formula One with a the idea of completing some unfinished business, after speculations of an earlier return to the competition had been sparked by a seat left vacant at Ferrari following Felipe Massa’s terrifying incident at the Hungaroring during qualifications during the summer.
