Will we see this anytime soon again?
So after 3 years away from the sport, the legend Michael Schumacher is all set to return as Massa’s replacement at the European Grand Prix at Valencia, Spain during the 21-23rd August race weekend. If you’re still in shock and don’t believe the story read up here, here or here. According to his official website, Michael is “happy to help” Ferrari in this difficult time.
So what does this mean for Ferrari and F1? Quite a lot it seems! All hopes will be riding on Schumi making a sensational comeback with Ferrari and with it bringing the once-unbeatable team back to the forefront again. F1 also lost a lot of followers after Schumi quit F1. And especially with F1 going through a rough patch with it’s fair share of controversies, this move is perfectly timed in a PR sense to bring much needed enthusiasm back into the sport. The recession has hit the sport majorly since the end of last season and it has already claimed 2 victims – the latest being BMW who have announced that they will be withdrawing from the sport end of this season.
Also, extremely interesting will be how Michael will adjust with the new F1 rules, many of which never existed when he raced. Also, best buddies and former partners Ross Brawn and Schumi will now not be together with Brawn leading his own team. I’m running out of breath with excitement as I write this and cannot wait for 3 weeks to go by as quickly as possible!

EDIT: That was one of the biggest cuckoos of the year. Reminds me of the joke with the bucket and the hot water. Ch*&$#a Cuts!
