Schumacher: Speech for Mercedes is a new challenge for me
Michael Schumacher commented on his own decision to return to Formula 1 in the “Mercedes”.

“I had a fabulous feeling when in late November, I called Ross about the possible intervention of the “Mercedes”. I never left the race track and I feel ready for serious cases. Before giving final approval, I made sure that my health was in order, and I can say with absolute certainty that the neck will no longer deliver problems “- quoted Schumacher Autosport.

“In late 2006, I was tired, I had no energy. Since that time I was able to recharge the batteries – in motorcycle races, go-karting. So I supported Russia’s proposal. The neck is no longer a problem. Summer had little time, but now I am completely healed the injury. Ross and “Mercedes” – a combination that really impresses me. I too can do something to give “Mercedes”. And I could not refuse. Of course, I consulted with my wife. She had questions, but when she saw the fire in my eyes when I told her about this idea, she fully supported my plan “- quoted Schumacher Motorsport-Total.

“Speech for a Mercedes is a new challenge for me as with sports, and from a personal standpoint. This new chapter in my racing career, and I’m really looking forward to working with my old friend Ross Brawn and my countrymen, who know even at times junior program “Mercedes”. I am confident that together we can fight for the championship next year, and I look forward to returning to the racetrack. For me, this partnership closes the circle. Mercedes supported me for many years, when I began my career in Formula 1, and now, I hope, I too will be able to give something to the brand with the three-beam star “- quoted Schumacher’s press release” Mercedes “.

Head of the Mercedes Ross Brawn commented on the return of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher: “I am pleased to confirm the long-awaited return of Michael to Formula 1 and the signing of the contract with Mercedes . Breakthroughs Michael speak for themselves. I look forward to when I’ll start working again with Schumacher. I am sure that now in the person of Michael and Nico Rosberg we have the most interesting pair of drivers in Formula 1. This pair combines talent, experience, speed and youth.

Thanks to investment and support of the “Daimler”, “Aabara and Petronas, and with two excellent pilots, we can expect in the season-2010 to repeat last year’s success”.
