Ferrari confirm Schumacher return

Ferrari have confirmed seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher will make a sensational return to Formula One to stand in for Felipe Massa for the rest of the season.

German driving legend Schumacher still works for Ferrari as an advisor, but after Massa's shocking injury in Hungary he will now get back behind the wheel once again.

Schumacher has some time to prepare as the F1 season takes a summer break, but he should once again line up on the grid at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on August 23.

This is going to be the most intriguing race in a long time. With Ferrari off the pace it will be the ultimate answer to "how much difference does the driver (as opposed to the car) actually make".

Im not convinced he'll be up to it, depends how well hes been keeping himself. Its apparently physically exhausing to drive in an F1 grand prix and Im not sure he can be in the peak condition that he needs to be with the reactions he used to have? Its gonna be interesting thats for sure

This news is going to help Button, in my opinion.

absolutely, if Mclaren & Ferrari start taking points off of Red Bull, Button might be able to hold on to the lead.

Awesome news with Shumi back! The guy is a legend and will def be looking forward to the next race! Gonna be a lot of hype surrounding the race!

Wonder who the new stig will be now :D

I used to think Formula 1 was boring when Shumi used to win every week.

Now back after nearly 3 years should add a small amount of excitment to the next race.

Sort of F1 related.

This is such a fail. Here's a lad claiming to have leaked footage of the xbox 360 game F1 09 (driving with Lewis Hamilton).

Couldn't have picked a worse track to demonstrate this on lol

Montreal Mayor Gérald Tremblay said Tuesday that there's no deal in place yet to bring Formula One back to the city, despite F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone's comments to the contrary earlier in the day.

The head of Formula One said that an agreement in principle has been reached to have F1 return to Montreal in 2010.

"We have an in-principle agreement of how we're going to make the race happen," Ecclestone told CBC Radio.

But later Tuesday, Tremblay told RDS that negotiations are still continuing and that Ecclestone hasn't changed his previous offer. It was the major sticking point when the race was dropped for 2009.

"We've got the very funny, old-fashioned idea that when we go somewhere we'd like to be paid," Ecclestone said.

The F1 group wanted $175 million to keep the race in Montreal for five years, but the city government said that was too much. According to Tremblay, F1 hasn't changed the offer, meaning the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix isn't a sure thing yet.

Ecclestone first announced the deal in principle to Swiss magazine Motorsport Aktuell.

He said the potential deal would keep F1 in Montreal for at least the next seven years, adding that a formal agreement has to be reached in the next few weeks in order to make the deadline for the 2010 calendar.

This season marked the first time in 22 years that no F1 race was held in the city. Ecclestone said he never wanted to leave Montreal in the first place.

"Everyone in Formula One loves the Canadian Grand Prix," Ecclestone said in the magazine interview.

Ecclestone also ruled out a return to Indianapolis, which was dropped in 2007, and said he would like to add races in South Korea and India.

I really hope the Canadian GP comes back next season :fc:

So Schumacer hasn't even run his first race and is already trying to cheat by getting extra practice before the race; and then Ferrari winge when Williams don't let them. What a bunch of bellends. This is going to be excrutiating, at least back in the day there was the slim hope Couthard might batter the kraut if he stepped out of line, I can't see Hamilton stepping into that role anytime soon.

It's not exactly Ferrari or Schumacher's fault that they needed a replacement though is it?

Can't see what's wrong with allowing Schumacher a day's extra practice or something. He won't have any real impact on the race anyway. Can only see him making minor points, at best.
