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”.

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.

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.

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 “.
