Default Re: Schumacher Returns...?

I cant see it happening, especially if he wants silly money for the drive. Mercedes have already stated they will only do F1 if they can do it and keep their costs down, I would imagine Schumacher isnt going to drive for nowt.

I can see him working with RB again though, but isnt he still under contract with Ferrari still in some way shape or form ?

Personally I dont want him back. Fantastic driver in his day, but that day has been and gone. I have no doubt he'd be quick and win, I'd rather see some of the other GP2 drivers take that drive...

It is reported he has agreed to drive for 3.5 million euros, if thats the case then Mercedes certainly aren't going to argue.

Talented driver for sure, but I hated him for his antics and his smug, my poop don't stink arrogance. As far as media personalities went I think he did little for the sport.

No, they are driving for McLaren, powered by Mercedes. The Brawn team has been renamed Mercedes (confusing huh, but Mercedes provide the engines for Force India as well)
