In an interview that would greatly delight the fans of the German Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen said that Michael could be tempted to come back to formula one racing. He said that in 2-3 years when Michael starts to think about it, he could stage a comeback. He also said that its not impossible for old and retired drivers to return to competitive racing,
“With talent, experience and above all ambition, it can be done,” He said
SCHUMACHER`S LAST RACE IN BRAZIL WAS AMONG OTHERS
SPECTACULAR AND ONLY PROVED HE DIDN`T RETIRE BECAUSE HE HAD LOST HIS TALENT OR WAS TOO SLOW TO COMPETE WITH OTHER DRIVERS.IF HE HAD REMAINED IN F1
I BELIEVE WITHOUT ANY RELIABILITY ISSUES THAT HE MAY HAVE WON THE FIRST THREE RACES.I HOPE HE DOES RETURN OR LEAST RACE FROM TIME TO TIME.

The reason why Schumacher left wasn’t because he is too old, but because the television ratings of formula 1 had dropped because he was winning all the races; of course a certain money oriented man, named Bernie Ecclestone, didn’t like the idea that no one was watching formula 1 i.e. he wasn’t making so many billions as he already was anyway. My guess, they gave him a big compensation but, it probably won’t stop him from returning to F1. Also: if we analyse the rules that were implemented in Formula 1 from the year 2002 onwards, we can clearly see that Ecclestone(FIA) wanted to put a stop at Schumacher’s supremacy( which didn’t quite work at first); eventually they managed to do just that, making those new rules around Renault, therefore favouring them…I know it sounds sick, but I trulky believe that Bernie Ecclestone only cares about “showtime” and making money. He has killed what was once a Sport, which isn’t a sport anymore if u ask me.
Now, Ecclestone doesn’t want to have the same problems anymore and has made, and still is, making new rules which make all the cars pretty much the same from the performance part; we have all seen in Canada 2007 what happened to Kubica; he drove well, and so did Trulli but because these new formula 1 cars have similar performance, they therefore race at very high speeds at very very close distances between each other. Said that, I think someone should shoot that old twat who shits gold. This could also be one of the reasons why Schumacher left Formula 1 in the first place; I think it’s probably all these reasons as a whole which made him decision to leave, because the truth is that Formula 1 has become a circus-soap-opera, which leaves me disgusted, and I’m sure u can imagine how it leaves Schumacher disgusted; he represented all F1 pilots….

Kc, i could’nt agree with u more. Absolutely agree. F1 has become WWE on wheels thanks to Mr.Bernie ecclestone. I stopped watching F1 regularly since Schumi retired. Last year i saw Adrian sutil of force india cry like a sissy when he was out of the race. God, it reminded me of WWE. F1 as you rightly said is a soap opera and not sport anymore.
All the manufacturers ever do is threaten a break away series every year when the rules are changed. But Mr. Bernie keeps the manufacturers interested with big money. Cost of development people say?? Well most of the development cost is taken care of by the big money everyone shares behind the scenes. This is just entertainment not sport anymore. Hats off to the few manufacturers who have stayed away from F1. People will tell you that it is the Cost that is keeping them away, but in reality, it is their integrity that is preventing them from selling themselves to this circus run by Mr.Ecclestone. Whatis even more unfortunate some may ask?? Schumi is back in this circus run by the devil. How unfortunate and ironical!! since people were made to believe that it was because of Schumi that F1 was loosing its popularity, and now they need him back to revive the sport, which unknown to many, is in doldrums.
