Michael Schumacher to race for McLaren?

November 5, 2007 4:23pm CST
Co-owner of Williams, Patric Head has suggested that he wouldn't be surprised to see Michael Schumacher return to F1 next year as Fernando Alonso's replacement. Head suggested that Michael is still fit and is probably bored by now. He could also feel that it is about time he repaid his debt to Mercedes as they backed through his sportscar and GT years prior to him coming to F1

If that's true, I'm gonna be so happy coz I've always dreaded the day Michael Schumacher left f1 racing....to be honest, I've even restrained myself from watching f1 this year knowing Michael is not in there....his passion and skill in driving is just phenomenal....

Sorry to hear you restrained yourself, even without Michael there have been some excellent races this year.

That's true in a sense, as a few races are nail-biting from what I read on f1.com.....but still, without Michael in the picture, it just doesn't "feel" the same, if you know what I mean....

if this happens, it will determine on who's best between michael and mika... who will set the fastest record now that they are handling the same company?

Michael is on record as saying that he doesn't think that he could work with Ron Dennis, but he made those comments back in 2006. If he still feels the same way then it wont happen. If it did then we would see how good Hamilton really is.

Wow, that would be awesome, Hamilton needs a quality partner & it will definately show how good Hamilton is (which we already know) but I'd be surprised if it comes to fruition though..

Today I have heard that Michael Schumacher will work at the Ferrari in the next season like test-driver of the cars. He has the Ferrari in te heart and I don't think he will go to another car.

Apparently he will be testing this years car next week, without any electronic driver aids to help the development of next years car. 2008 will see the end of traction control in F1. There has been no announcements as to whether he will be testing further.

i think mclaren is not for michael...this team is only for hamilton and if they can behave so badly with alonso so they can also do same with michael...and also proffessionaly mclaren is also not a good team as they fined in theft case

then patrick head would be very surprised to find that miheal schumacher would probably not be racing again and certainly not for mclaren.he has too much of relationship with ferrari to turn against them for one thing.
