    Re: Schumacher makes shock F1 return

    Very interesting.

    F1 is pretty boring now, but it was even more boring when he won all the time.

    However it'll be interesting to see him race, having not touched the 2009 car, and in what is a different landscape to when he last raced.

    IF he is competitive, it's going to be Michael vs Jenson vs Lewis, which is going to be legendary

    I wonder if we'll see some silly behaviour from the other drivers now that they have a chance to out do him?

    I believe he can test last years car to sharpen himself and reacquaint himself with the engineers properly. Obviously they all know each other, but they won't have actually dialled a car in together since 2006.

    If Ferrari have any straight-line tests still unused then they can use that to let him get used to some of the controls and gizmos (such as KERS) on the 2009 car.

    I agree of course though. He's not going to be as good as he was when he left - he's doing this as a favour.
