German formula one racing star Michael Schumacher on Wednesday announced he will be returning to the F1 racing circuit to fill in at Ferrari for badly injured driver Felipe Massa.
Michael Schumacher record is seven time formula one champion.
The rumour was on that the champion will "consider" the possibility of a comeback to replace the Brazilian for the remainder of the season if Ferrari would ask him.
Two weeks ago, former German driver (40), who retired in 2006, said during an interview with women magazine Bunte that he feels physically and emotionally prepared to fight for a victory.
He made these statements were made before Felipe Massa suffered such a terrible accident, but he said it didn't mean he will in fact return to the Formula One; now, Ferrari's current situation gives Schumi's words another connotation.
Massa suffered a serious accident during second qualifying round at the Hungarian GP in Hungaroring; a spring from Rubens Barrichello's car hit him into his head.
Other drivers said to replace Massa are 19-year-old Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari and Ferrari testers Marc Gene and Italian Luca Badoer.
