Shouldn't it be news that a celebrity athlete stays retired for more than 5 years?

Very interested to see what happens. If Shoemy came back and toasted the competition, there would be floods of champagne in Maranello.

With Hamilton's ride finally working... this is going to be interesting indeed.

I believe that Schumacher is doing it to show solidarity to his friend and former teammate Felipe Massa. If some young driver was given the seat, Felipe might have to worry that his ride is in jeporady. With Schumacher in the seat, Felipe knows that the seat is his the moment he recovers. Schumacher is a class act. God's speed to a fast and full recovery for Felipe.

I hadn't thought of it in those terms, but I think you may be absolutely right.

This is the most exciting thing in F1 in a very crazy season.

that is a very good point. if i had to guess i would say that you are 100% correct sir

the only problem is if he does too well, they might want to try and keep him on a while longer.

though really if he does reall well i would be quite suprised. i mean the cars have changed a bit since he was in the game. didn't they have traction controll back then?
