Really?  Getting him to retire in the first place must have taken some doing, since when he stepped out of his car in the Interlagos paddock in October 2006 he was a driver still at the top of his game, with plenty of driving left in him and, to the eyes of the distant observer, being sidelined against his will.  \u201cAny chance you could leave us the keys, Michael?  It\u2019s just we\u2019ve got this Finnish bloke coming to have a look at your car\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I for one am excited to see what Schumacher can do with this current generation of F1 machines.  Should be good times all around, and with a little luck maybe Schumacher can help get Ferrari back to the top podium spot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was looking for a good link to talk about Michael Schumacher\u2019s return to Ferrari as Felipe Massa\u2019s replacement and just could not find what I was really looking for in a story.
