Schumacher: “Fighting for the title”

Si Michael Schumacher is back in Formula 1, it is certainly not to make up the numbers. The seven-time World Champion fully intends to play a leading role in the premier discipline of motorsport. “ I am convinced that together we will be involved in the battle for the Formula 1 World Championship next year and I am really looking forward to getting back on track “, said the German.

Alongside Nico Rosberg, Schumacher will bring his experience to a team that is the Constructors' and Drivers' World Champion. “ Mercedes GP Petronas represents a new challenge for me both on a sporting and personal level ", he added. " This is a new chapter in my career and I’m looking forward to working with my old friend Ross Brawn again. »

The German has finally removed the last doubts about his physical condition and in particular about his neck which was causing him pain and had prevented him from replacing Felipe Massa at the wheel of the Ferrari F60. “ Before agreeing, I made sure everything was okay. I can 100 percent say that my neck is no longer a problem. »
