Schumi returns to Ferrari

Michael Schumacher back in Grand Prix with Ferrari, Italy dreamed of it, Luca di Montezemolo did it. The seven-time World Champion was convinced by the president of the Prancing Horse brand to return to the wheel of the single-seaters of Maranello. Ferrari is ready to pay the price since it will have to terminate the contracts of Felipe Massa and that of Michael Schumacher with Mercedes. The German manufacturer, faced with Schumi's poor results, agreed to let the seven-time World Champion leave and replace him with the very fast Nick Heidfeld, reserve driver until then.

Warning signs had appeared in recent weeks, since Michael Schumacher regularly visited his former partners in the Grand Prix paddock of Formula 1. " For me, no problem, I don't see any problem with it, had commented Fernando Alonso in Melbourne. It is not the first time. Already this winter, he came during the tests to get some food! I have the impression that Ferrari?s cooking is better than his! »

However, it is not only food that Michael Schumacher came to seek at Ferrari, but the wheel of a competitive car! Disappointed by the lack of performance of the Mercedes W01, Schumi let himself be convinced by Luca di Montezemolo to return to racing in red, at the wheel of the F10. And it is difficult for Fernando Alonso to oppose the arrival of a driver who has had such an impact on the Scuderia. Like the storm brewing over Malaysia, the entire Sepang paddock is trembling at this news...
