Sorry for the Eminem style heading, but this is seriously big news, big enough to take a little time off from work and publish this to the site. While one does feel sad for Felipe Massa, but I am super excited by the fact that the one to replace Massa would be 7 time formula one champion Michael Schumacher.

Michael Schumacher has agreed to replace Massa while he recovers from the horrendous crash at Hungary which had left him fighting for his life. Michael already has 91 wins under his belt but with the new Ferraris and the fact that he has been out of action for 3 years now, he isnt really expected to add more to his kitty. Schumacher was quoted as saying :

“For team loyalty reasons I can’t ignore this unfortunate situation.”

Ferrari formula one team meanwhile has the following info up on their site :

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro intends to put Michael Schumacher in Felipe Massa’s car untill the brazilian driver will be able to race again. Michael Schumacher said he is ready and, over the next few days, will undertake a specifc training programme at the end of which confermation will be given of his participation in the Championship with effect from the European Grand Prix on the 23rd of August.
