Schumi for Mercedes...?! According to the magazine FOCUS, the deal is perfect: 5M for racing in the 2010 season, and the intention to win him for a committment beyond that timeframe.

Last remaining obstacle is the medical checkup, says the article.

I believe it when I see it.

Remember, Kimi should be listed on pretty much all of the teams if you believe what papers tell you.

Dowly...! Because of your completely hilarious sig I need to prepare myself a new breakfast now!

Haha, serves you right. Been waiting for my pizzas for over an hour now and I has a hangover. I dont get to eat, well you wont either. Na na naa.

Must be another one of these Finnish things.

I just had kebab for breakfast. Was good.

Well it's kinda like a hardy English breakfast.

As for Schumi, I think he could still race, and win. Skill like that doesn't just vanish in a couple of years. He just needs to find his hunger for winning.

He did it!

German tabloid "Bild" reports that Schumi has signed a 1-year treaty for 7 million. He will then race the whole season in a Mercedes cockpit.

why has nobody raised a bet against me - with high stacks of money?

His starting number is 4, and Mercedes is working on getting a special permission for testing in January.

The sensation is perfect. Let'S see if he can keep it alive. I expect him not battling for the championship, but winning some races and ending the season amongst the top 4 or 5.

BBC now also brings it.

I'm not sure whether I like it that he will be driving for Mercedes though.

I am surprised to read that reports now say he has signed not for one but THREE years in active racing for Mercedes. This could mean that he does not return just to have some fun, but that he really is determined to battle for championships.

Which, when i think of it, seems to be more representative for his character anyway.

Two national teams, Britain and Germany, fighting on the track: both Mercedes and McLaren have an all-out English and german driver lineup. I already can imagine the warmongering headlines in British yellow press!
