Schumacher Returning To Ferrari F1!

You read right, Michael Schumacher is set to replace Massa over at Ferrari Formula One.

Schumi will replace injured Felipe Massa (until he is able to race again) at the helm of Ferrari’s F60 after he passes a fitness test soon. The seven-time champ will replace Massa at the next F1 event in Valencia. We’re declaring comeback of the decade, any thoughts?

“Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro intends to put Michael Schumacher in Felipe Massa’s car until the Brazilian driver will be able to race again,” the team stated.

“Michael Schumacher said he is ready and over the next few days will undertake a specific training programme at the end of which confirmation will be given of his participation in the championship with effect from the European Grand Prix on the 23rd of August.”

    This should be insane because I don't think Shooey has ever raced without TC...and Valencia is a street circuit. However, IIRC his test/practice/fun lap times around Fiorano were quicker than Kimi or Massa's and he was in their TC-less car.

    Holy cow..... I thought he was done for good, but I guess guys like him never truly are. To bad he's not racing for Brawn.
