   Rock on the master

  never thought it would come through

[f1silverstone]

Overall, this is a good news for F1!

This is good news for Bernie as it will increase the bottom line but bad news for F1 as the dirty cheating German is coming back.
A black day for F1.

[FW14B]

It's a great day for F1 to have the young guns take on the old master.  Yes he had moments but he was the fastest despite his dubious tactics.  I only wish Kimi was still around to really have the top F1 drivers of recent years all back together. 

[Scott]

It will be interesting.  Having Ross Brawn and Schumacher together again will make for some very interesting racing against drivers he has not yet met.  I give my reserved applause.  Sorry Nico...

[FW14B]

Yeah, you do have to feel a little for Nico, terrible timing!  Didn't go to McLaren to avoid Hamilton but ends up in Mercedes against Schumacher. 

[littledave]

It's 50/50.

Good times: We have a good racer in the field to replace Kimi

Bad times: Is F1 really that bad that we have to bring back a 40 year old champion to boost the numbers? Personally i think it doesn't. Sad state of affairs if you ask me. One step forward and 10 steps back. I just don't see what he can add to the grid, sat in a car what could easily be the 4th quickest and an extra 15 years on all the other drivers. New cars, new tracks, new regs.....

For F1s sake I hope he fails because we should be looking forward not backwards.

Wrong team. 

[david1275]

What da hell!!    

The master returns, and that should be good for F1.

[Neil.P]

Great news, lets hope he gets that 8th title

Schumacher in a mercedes.....oh my....who would have thought such a thing

[cosworth151]

I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself. His last two seasons were far from his best. Now, he's even older and out of practice. I've seen too many sports where former champs came back long past their prime, with sad results.

[Andy B]

Is he past his best? I dont think so but the new season will give the answer to that.
Dirty Cheating German? What about the Dirty cheating Brazilian? The only differnce was Schumi was around for more races.
A backward step for F1? Viewing figures will prove that he draws a crowd and people want to see him race.

Can we start the testing now please!!!!
