Schumacher: Bernie believes in it

Bernie Ecclestone is, besides fans of Michael Schumacher, one of those who should be most delighted with the return of the seven-time world champion to competition. It is true that last summer, when Schumi was to replace Felipe Massa, the Formula 1 had been propelled to the forefront in the mainstream media. A boon for the tough negotiator of FOM (Formula One Management), who hopes to see F1 gain exposure thanks to this return.

In recent days, signs of the arrival of Michael Schumacher at Mercedes GP did not fail. Which makes Bernie Ecclestone say, quoted by the Times, what? “ They already have Michael, don't they? ". The big financier of F1, who admits that this possibility delights him, is almost certain that the record holder for victories in F1 will be back on the track in 2010.

« I'll be surprised if he doesn't drive for them, adds Ecclestone. I don't know if it's decided but it seems to me that it's on track to make it happen. » This Thursday, the German newspaper Bild revealed that Michael Schumacher could soon take the wheel of a GP2 Series car to test his physical abilities (see elsewhere).
