    Schumacher Makes Formula One Return

    Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher has come out of retirement to drive for Mercedes in 2010.

    Schumacher, who has not raced for three years, will partner Nico Rosberg in the newly-formed team.

    "Three years of absence gave back all the energy that I'm feeling right now," Schumacher said. "I feel ready for some serious stuff."

    "I believe I can be absolutely competetive."

    Schumacher had planned a short-term comeback with Ferrari last season, to fill in for the injured Felipe Massa, but that was called off due to a neck injury from a motorcycle accident.

    But he said that injury "is no further issue".

    The move to Mercedes will see Schumacher again join forces with Ross Brawn, the man who masterminded his five world championships at Ferrari.

    I dont think his team is expecting too much off him this season in regards challenging for the title...I heard his team mate saying this last week, but he is looking forward to learning from him..He also reckons he might be able to shake the championship up, but doesnt think they will win it..

    6.7 mill for one season is some money...Wonder is his neck injury fully healed though..
