Schumacher signs with Mercedes - Report
Rumours have been circulating about the return of Michael Schumacher to F1 with Mercedes GP for over six weeks now and, according to the BBC, the deal has now been signed and sealed with an announcement from Mercedes apparently imminent.
Schumacher, now 41, was set to return in 2009 to cover for the injured Felipe Massa. Injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash scuppered those plans. After several months of training his neck now seems able to take the strain of not just a couple of races, but an entire 19 race season starting in Bahrain in March.
