I dont believe ya!!!!!!!

[peroa]

MS vs FA vs KR vs LH

4 WDC's

Shame that the 1st showdown will be at the horrible, hoooorrible Valencia track.

Spa or Monza would be too much to ask.

[Urawa]

Brave move

[Wolbo]

It's confirmed on his website. Was never a fan of Schumi but it's exciting to see him back.

[icecream_man]

[Enkei]

(It doesnt take long for me to change my mind )

[Enkei]

I would welcome him back, only for Lewis to kick his a-ss ;)

[ZenSpeed]

Me neither (or more specifically, I don't believe the author of the article)

There is no author, it's a flash news at the top of their site, they are writing the article or official communication as we type

[ZenSpeed]

It's confirmed on his website. Was never a fan of Schumi but it's exciting to see him back.

well, then it's official

[aeffle]

Awesome!

Can't wait to see him back in F1!

[ZenSpeed]

I'll believe it when it's on Autosport.


Great news if true.

La Gazzetta is as professional as Autosport.

quite possible considering how the new updated McLaren performed last weekend

[D.M.N.]

Schumacher's official website has crashed.

Superb IF true.

[Francesc]

Now we can say that Kimi won't be able to finish the race at Valencia

At best, Felipe will need 6-8 weeks to be back, so Schumi could race on other more interesting venues

According to SSN Ferrari have said:

"Michael Schumacher will replaced the injured driver Felipe Massa for the remainder of the season"

Schumi v Hamilton is a mouth watering prospect!

[Scudetto]

From his official site:

"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."

Source. Very slow at the moment

Dear God!
A 40 year old ex-racer who hasn't raced an F1 car in nearly 3 years, who has everything to lose and nothing to gain.

Still think of the kudos for eveybody who gets passed him!

The odds on Barrichello taking him out at the first corner in revenge for 5 years of being his bitch..... ?

[Jedi_F1]

I never thought he would do it!

But .... what a day.. after the bad news.. some good news...
it will be good for F1 too in these times!

[ZenSpeed]

Grow up

[Ivan]

Wacko,
Where did you read this?

[RodrigoL]

Schumi v Hamilton is a mouth watering prospect!

If only Sato would come back, we'd have three of the most dangerous drivers in F1 history

Well I'll be damned, seems the bloke's got a bit more bottle than I gave him credit for

This could be very interesting !

(I still can't stand him though...)

Barrichello needs to be in Schumi's range to do that, doubtful with his latest performance

[UPRC]

I remember a few years ago, my dream team was:

Ferrari: Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen


I'm glad that my dream team will become reality, if even just for a little while. I hope Michael's still got it!

[30ft penguin]

I am a fan of MS, but this is a bit ridiculous. I do not think he has the fitness or the necessary experience with the current Ferrari F1 car to be competitive enough. Bad idea.

[Alfisti]

Sheer bloody madness IMHO, kids ... wife .. etc etc ... why risk it?

[pusko]

That's the best news in F1 since.......WOW!!!

[Francesc]

This reminds me Lance's Armstrong comeback

[Jedi_F1]

The odds on Barrichello taking him out at the first corner in revenge for 5 years of being his bitch..... ?

now he will have 2 of those on the track!

[Alfisti]

KR will likely shade him but hw's still fit enough ... just look at him.

[Scotracer]

YAY

This is a dream come true for me. F1 is BACK

[fanboy]

my draw dropped when i read that head line. I didnt expect that!

[gindan]

Hamilton vs Schumacher
Vettel vs Schumacher
Raikonnen vs Schumacher

Now that's pretty awesome.

[dgduris]

First thoughts!

1. That's one hell of a shot in the arm for F1 - take THAT Max!

2. Lance Armstrong has NOTHING on Schumi!

[Hotwheels]

Breaking news on CNN. Schumacher is back .

[ZenSpeed]

So, this will finally end all the speculations about Schumi not having the balls to race a competitive teammate. He will join the 2007 WDC on the same car having been out of racing for 3 seasons and at age 40. That's either crazy or very ballsy

[WACKO]

Don't tell me you were hoping for Jos to substitute for Massa Frans
