Anyone who follows the news related to Formula One will have heard about the return of a living legend: Michael Schumacher decided to make a comeback in F1 and continue a most impressive career. It’s funny how despised he was while he was actively driving for Ferrari and how jubilant people are to see him return to the sport. I have read many interviews saying it will be good for F1 with Schumacher back on the grid and only a very few skeptical ones.

I have followed Formula One for many seasons now. I think I started to watch back in 1993. As a small child I have always had a love for Ferrari; I still have a fairly impressive collection of model cars to prove it! When I first saw a Formula One race on TV and figured out those red cars were Ferrari’s, I’ve been following and cheering for them ever since.

Having Michael Schumacher drive for Ferrari and win 5 world championships with them, it is a slight disappointment to see him return in a Mercedes; Ferrari’s biggest rival over the last decade! That said, I hope he performs well and that he’s still capable of winning races. I have always admired his ambition and determination to win and to keep winning. Sure, he’s got some black smudges on his record, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive!

Even though I will still be cheering for Ferrari and hoping the reds take the championship home to Italy, I am still going to keep my eye on Schumacher and hope he will do well and claim some victories. Imagine him returning to Formula One and completely dominating the entire season again! I wonder how long it will be before all the positive noises will turn into good, old fashioned grumbling about him claiming all the victories…
