Schumacher will replace Felipe Massa in Valencia provided tests show he is still fast enough. That could be interesting.

BMW is out of F1.

Well considering there is no testing in season, Schumi will have to wait till official practice on the Thursday before the race, so it is not going to be a walk in park I think.

Its going to be interesting to see how well he does, in handling the car and against Kimi and the other drivers (Mainly Vettel in the Red Bull and Hamilton, now that the McLaren is up to speed). He might not be able to drive the real car, but I bet they've got simulators the equivalent of Gran Turismo 9 locked away somewhere .

On a BBC interview this morning MS said he would get some track time in early February 2010, but that is still just a month before the first race for the 2010 season begins.

Nobody will drive a 2010 car until February though, testing is very limited in F1 now. He did test a 2007 Ferrari in the summer when it looked like he might replace Massa, and he's been entering (and winning) kart races, which is a pretty physical thing, apparently quite close to F1 in terms of stresses on the body.

There's no KERS systems this year to get used to (like Fisichella didn't), he's with Ross Brawn again, and will be in the championship winning team of last year (what was Brawn GP), who are now the Mercedes works team.

Roll on March... Schumacher, Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Button, Massa. If they all get decent enough cars its going to be one hell of fight .

Schuey driving for the three-pointed star, should be amazing… 10 years ago. Do you guys -and the regular girl- think he can actually win it again?, I think I would put my money on Nico Rosberg instead.

Right there after Hamilton of course.

I think he's definitely in with a shout, and I'd put him ahead of Rosberg, personally, even if he has been out of an F1 racing seat for 3 years.
