Schumacher Returns

It is official! Michael Schumacher has come out of retirement to race along side Nico Rosberg at Mercedes next year.

Retiring at the age of 37, in 2006, the 40-year old, 41 in January, has reportedly signed a one-year contract thought to be worth £6.2 million.

Previously attempting a comeback last season to stand-in for Felipe Massa after his injury, it was not to be after a motorcycle accident last February. But this time it has the green light.

Personally, this is fantastic news as the seven-time world champion has been my idol since a very young age. He is the greatest driver to have graced the world of Formula 1. But while I, like many others, are hugely anticipating his return to the grid in March, will he live up to the expectation? Will he be able to outclass the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel?
