Seven-time world champion Formula 1, holder of all records, Michael Schumacher Would he take a risk by returning to drive in the discipline that made him famous? This is what Jenson Button thinks, who understands that Schumi has nothing to gain by engaging with Mercedes GP, except to share its aura with F1.

« Michael Schumacher's return to F1 is great news for our sport, confesses Jenson Button in the columns of News of the World. But I don't know if this is good news for Michael Schumacher. By returning, he puts his reputation on the line. »

However, Jenson Button admits that he would be the first delighted to see Michael Schumacher on the F1 circuits again. The British driver, who hardly had a competitive car during the Schumi era, except in 2004, would like to compete with the seven-time world champion. “ I want to beat the best and he was one of the best », concluded the pilot McLaren.
