It looks like speculations around Michael Schumacher’ s possible comeback in Formula 1 with Mercedes Grand Prix are going to last until the German car manufacturer will officially announce Nico Rosberg’s team-mate for 2010. Mercedes Motorsport president Norberg Haug refused to rule out Schumacher as an option for the team.

Seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher was about to replace Felipe Massa but was unable to do so due to a neck injury. Ever since the German is surrounded with rumours about his comeback to Formula 1.
