Very very interested to see how Kimi and Schumel compare in the same car.

Rarely have I outwardly smiled when reading a news story. Michael back in an F1 car? You can't buy that sort of PR - just what F1 needs at the moment. This will be MEGA. I hope he blows the kids into the gravel traps and WINS!

I'm a huge Schumi fan and I really hope that he does well, but I'm hesitant to say that he will even achieve a podium finish in his first race.

It's great to have him back and it will guarantee the highest ever viewership for a F1 race!!!

Great stuff. I suspect he's going to be shown up, but will be a spectacle nonetheless. The other drivers have a point to prove now - there will be no love lost on track...

Well he is 40 years old and driving a much slower car than a few of the other guys.

So he may get beaten but i doubt he will get shown up. He should however show kimi what a decent f1 driver can do because kimi looks like he is finished with f1, i think the fact he is earning so much is the only reason kimi is still in f1.

Let's just wait until Schumi has driven a race and then we see who will be excited for the wrong or right reasons. I'm a Schumi Fan. If he wins at least just one race for the remainder I'll be happy.

In all honestly I can only say that I absolutely love this! I've been telling the guys I watch races with for a while now that it won't be long before we see Schumi's return!

The sport needed it though, with BMW pulling out a big announcement like this is all that could really bolster the sport again.

While I do agree with the points that Schumi' hasn't really raced in two and a half years and that he is 40 years old I think he still has some spunk left in him and a couple of other drivers are in for a bit of a surprise.

My prediction would be that from race one when he is back that he will be in the points. My wish would be that he comes back, slaughters everyone and wins the drivers title.

LOL he cannot win the drivers title, it would be impossible.

It would need button to not finish another race this year in the points :D and shummi to win every single race.

Dude how will that be possible?

That's why I said it would be a wish :)

And technically speaking its not impossible, if he wins every one of the remaining races and the current leaders don't get points he will end on 70, equal with Button and then it goes down to 1st places. Oh and Button will only have 6 wins :)

Arzy when you come back to planet earth let us know :D

Technically it is impossible to think button will score no points in 7 races :D

Once again, as I said its a wish :)

I still think we can expect Michael to score a couple of points before the season is out.

I think we can expect a possible win, this will be a great test because he is climbing into an inferior car to a few other drivers.

Man o man 3 weeks is so far away :(

That's very possible. Button isn't an amazing driver he just has a better car.

And what a sweet wish it is! Man to see the look on Button's face would just be priceless. Come on Shummi come on!
