Looks like Shumi is coming out of retirement to drive for Mercedes.

The Schumi could now safely comeback since the Räikkönen went to the rally side :neener:
Seriously
It will be interesting to see, how Schumi is performing. WTG

After his failed attempt to sub for Massa this year I figured it was only a matter of time before Cycle Chewbacca returned to F1. The only thing I didn't figure is he would be reunited with Brawn and Mercedes.
I do feel bad for Nico though, just when it seems things might be going his way MS is announced as his teammate.
The only question left is, will USF1 and Campos take the green in Bahrain.

But... but, when will Mika come back? :cool:
I always thought the Hakkinen/Schumi rivalry was the best, and unlike a lot of sports rivals they were good friends of the racetrack.
I also would love for an American to make a splash in F1 again. Scott Speed didn't work out at all, but there must be other talented American drivers out there.

The best F1 rivalry bar none was Senna/Prost. They didn't like each other, and it showed. :devil

I think the popularity of stock car racing has seen most of our talent invested in that area of racing. A lot of talent from Indy/Cart has moved over to the NASCAR ranks. On the other side, very few drivers have made the jump from NASCAR to open wheeled racing. Even the few that did are/were mainly stock car drivers at this point. I dont think either one is harder than the other on a whole though, just a different skill set.

Yup, i think Scott Speed is some stock car league now. Juan Pablo Montoya even left F1 for NASCAR.
I just can't get into NASCAR, I like corners, and braking, and right hand turns. I mean, I know there is tremendous skill in NASCAR, but it's like golf, in that even though it takes mega skill to do well, it's about as exciting to watch as drying paint. I'd rather blow torch my nipples off then watch 4 hours of loud, sedan look-a-like cars go in circles.
Edit: I recently have seen some old videos of the British Touring Car Championships, back in the day when it was 4 cylinder Cooper Minis VS. V8 Mustangs. Those were some neat races, with the big muscle cars pulling away on the straights, and then the little Minis out braking in the corners and slipping past. Now the BTCC seems to be all little hatchbacks, not nearly as exciting IMO.

Time to place my F1 bets for next year :t
