Schumi Return

Straight from Schumachers official web pages:

"The most important thing first: thanks God, all news concerning Felipe are positive. I wish him all the best again.
I was meeting this afternoon with Stefano Domenicali and Luca di Montezemolo and together we decided that I will prepare myself to take the place of Felipe. Though it is true that the chapter Formula 1 has been closed for me since long and completely, it is also true that for loyalty reasons to the team I cannot ignore that unfortunate situation. But as the competitor I am I also very much look forward to facing this challenge."

I remember when 2006 season finished, that a lot of people were saying MS retired because he knew Raikkonen was in for 2007 and he had fear of being beaten by Kimi... now, almost 3 years later, he comes back and he will be with Kimi...
I dont want to see him doing a Mansell... I want him to do a Lauda or a Prost :P

Win or lose ...points or not, it's just simply great to have the Red Barron back. Just to see that helmet in a 09 ferrari is enough for me.
Love him or hate him .... it's kind of like when Tyson came back, some people really just wanted to see if he could do it all again, whilst others could not wait for his demise. Me personally ... well, I don't think it will be that bad for Shummi.

looking forward to any press conference he is in, because - as has been mentioned over the last few days - it will be great to hear the 'honestly' and 'to be honest' all over again

Given this season, 11th is a distinct possibility, though Ferrari have improved a good bit in recent races.
It will probably be a bit of a Mansell. He's not going to come in a be as good as he was at the end of his career. But Ferrari will probably need a bit of a lift, and he will provide that more than anyone else could.
He'll know he won't have the ability he did when he left, so you have to give him massive kudos for having the balls to say "@#$%& it... I'm coming back anyway".

I'm a believer of carrying while you enjoy it rather than quitting before you lose your edge.
Clearly MS wasn't 100% sure when he quit in Monza, and his dabbling on motorbikes shows he wants a bit of competition and adrenaline every now and then.

Mika will be 41 in September, he's less than 6 months older than MS who will be 41 next January.
great to see MS back, the buzz of an F1 weekend will return for me!
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

i would have liked to see Kubica in the Ferrari too, given BMW's news today.

Even if he's rubbish no one with any sense will care, he's got the championships, all he can do in Spain is enhance an already mega reputation.
I can't believe how good this is, an on form Hamilton, a race winning Vettel racing for the first time against a 7 time world champion, fantastic.

Poor Rubens...
except that most likely the closest distance between them will be on the starting grid

yes, Rubens will no longer be the oldest - and Schumacher could become the 3rd driver to pass 250 starts.

the only problem with this is, that it could be seen to be threatening or undermining Massa's position in the team, which they wouldn't want to do.

@ SchueyFan, true, but Massa might be out for the rest of the season, and probably should take the rest of the season off to be safe anyway, plus it would keep a good driver racing (Kubica). they could explain to Kubica, and reassure Massa, that it's only for this season, next season Massa comes back provided he is fully fit.
