Will he, won’t he… Bernie told the London Times that it would be “magic” if Michael Schumacher decided F1 with Mercedes was his future. And if Mr. Ecclestone says that it’s a good idea then, clearly discussions have progressed beyond Ross Brawn making a quick phone call asking “what do you think about coming out of retirement and driving for us?”
This rumour has been circulating for a couple of weeks now, clearly something is going on as there have been no denials from either the team, driver or his manager.
It would be quite a risk for Schumacher, but the longer this story runs, the stronger the possibility becomes. I think the other top tier teams would welcome the chance to have another go at Schumacher, they would certainly appreciate the additional exposure this would give the series.
