Sniffpetrol comes in handy
I agree with everyone else on the point that this is some very, very exciting and refreshing news and gives a nice boost to F1 after all the political mayhem that's been going on.
However I do have my doubts about wethre this is actualyl a very good decision on Schuey's part. Let's face it, the man hasn't driven competetively in 3 years, hasn't driven an F1 car altogether save it for a couple of tests and hasn't driven the current F60 at all. This very similar to people drooling over the thought of Pete Sampras making a comeback to the ATP. Of course motorracing isn't the same thing, since the physical aspect doesn't play the big part like it does elsewhere, but 3 years is along time to be gone: Shuey has the skill, everyone knows that much, but that skill has to be maintained constantly in order for someone to be a top contender.
Skill doesn't go away just like that, but it does get rusty. I also think Schuey has nothing to gain from this, but everything to lose. This will only dent and stain his legacy, because I fear he's not going to do all that well.
On a sidenote, I find it amusing how everyone blamed Schumacher for making F1 boring and fans rejoiced when he finally quite, because F1 could get interesting again. And now that he is coming back, it is like the second coming of Messiah.

Well, you gotta differentiate that a bit. Schumi made F1 boring, because he pretty much always won and at times made it to his next title long before the season was over. Now, he gets into a car that arguably isn't quite up to date, hasn't been serious in F1 for a long time and is hardly in any condition to go for the title. Thus, he will be a nice addition to an already interesting, nicely shuffeled field. Saying that he will make F1 more interesting is, in this case, very true.On a sidenote, I find it amusing how everyone blamed Schumacher for making F1 boring and fans rejoiced when he finally quite, because F1 could get interesting again.

but who's going to be the tame racing driver now that he's busy with F1 again?
Yeah, right. If you ask me he has nothing to win but everything to lose. If he finishes 5th or so the doubters will say: I always knew he wasn't that good.
Everyone expects a win now despite the Ferrari's pace.

and he have nothing to loose, if he didn't did go well everybody will understand that he is out for 3 years and etc, and if he did go well then...
