Schumi is back !!! This time is for real...
7-time World Champion Michael Schumacher has signed a Formula 1 contract with Mercedes-Benz and will be making his much-anticipated comeback to the sport next year, according to German media reports on Tuesday.
Although an F1 return for Schumacher has been rumoured for some time, Daimler - Mercedes' parent company - hinted last week that no confirmation for its second driver would arrive until the New Year. Nico Rosberg is already signed for the team carrying the same nationality, as the 2005 GP2 Champion makes the switch from Williams after spending his first four seasons with the Grove outfit.
Although Sabine Kehm, spokeswoman for Michael Schumacher, is still unable to make any comment regarding her driver's imminent future, German newspaper Bild reports that a 1-year Mercedes deal is in place which also presents the former Jordan, Benetton and Ferrari man with an option for extension, should the 2010 campaign prove successful.
Let's hope this old man of Formula One still have the fire and desire in him for competitive racing. Hats off from me for coming back Schumi...all the best!
