Michael Schumacher’s official return to Formula 1 racing began on Monday, with the first test of the new Mercedes W01 car at Valencia, Spain. No comparative lap times were given, but Schumacher admitted to feeling “like a young boy that has a toy in his hands”.
Rule changes for 2009 and again for 2010 have made for closer competition than in Schumacher’s earlier F1 career. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton have an equivalent amount of talent but perhaps more ambition; it should prove to be an interesting season, and I’ll lay down my World Driver’s Championship prediction now: Hamilton first, Schumacher second, Felipe Massa third.
