Michael Schumacher has agreed to replace Felipe Massa for the European Grand Prix in Valencia, but is not going to return full time, however it will make for interesting viewing to see how he copes against the new young drivers like Lewis Hamilton.
Michael Schumacher will make a shock return to Formula 1 to replace injured Ferrari driver Felipe Massa.
The seven-time world champion, 40, retired at the end of 2006 but has agreed to drive at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on 23 August.
Schumacher will stand in for Massa, who fractured his skull at the Hungarian GP, for as long as he is sidelined.
The German, who is a Ferrari advisor, said: "For team loyalty reasons I can't ignore this unfortunate situation." "
His spokesman Sabine Kehm told the BBC on Tuesday that although Schumacher was not willing to make a full-time return to F1 he would not rule out standing in for Massa.
Now, the German racing legend has decided to come out of retirement and make a sensational return despite admitting: "It is true that the Formula 1 chapter has long been closed for me.
