@Pritish: Little bit of advice, your article at the moment is basically a rave about how awesome its gonna be that Schumi is back. Maybe you could have talked less about how great he is, and instead, analyzed his strengths from a neutral point of view and talked about how he is going to fare with the new conditions and competition in F1. That would have made the article a lot more relevant and interesting.

You reflect the exact sentiments of millions of Schumi fans. Especially after Lance Armstrong made a great comeback (finishing 3rd in Tour-de-France), Schumi fans are waiting for his comeback as well.

BUT, there are a lot of factors as well – not a great deal, but some factors have indeed changed. The hegemony of Ferrari has ended. Drivers like Jenson Button (was deemed an underachiever for so long) and Mark Webber have made it their own show this year. Rule changes like “slick tyres” making a reappearance after 1998 (when Mika Hakkinen took the mickey out of Schumi), the new Aerodynamic regulations etc. have made the task more challenging.

However, great sportsmen have done it before – Ali, Bobby Simpson and Armstrong are prime examples, not to forget the F-1 Great himself – Niki Lauda, who came out of retirement to WIN F-1 DRIVERS TITLE in 1984 for a then struggling McLaren.

And we believe Schumi can do it too.
