How long is the contact with mercedes?

Bernie also said that there is no way Schumacher is coming back. Then he changed his story about 2 days before the announcement.

Bernie says a lot of things.

Bernie is saying he doesn't expect Campos or USF1 to actually race in 2010.

Its official Schui to Merc, about the only thing I am looking forward to this year. Now, if they could only bring back some of the old classic tracks!

Its a perfect situation for Merc... BMW drops out and they have 2 german drivers.

My man Heidfeld... oh well.

I'm anxious to see how Schumacher gets on, I guess his AARP insurance plan allowed him to continue on with his racing career.

Wow. Have to say even after reading on Autosport this morning that it was getting close to happening, I still didn't think it actually would.

So will he return to his old dominant self (assuming he has the car to do) or will he end up as yet another athlete who tarnished their sterling reputation by coming back too late to relive the glory years.

Rosberg will be #2 to whomever they tell him to be. It just may not state that in his contract, is what I'm guessing.

Story this morning, Kubica may leave now that Renault has sold majority share. Also, Kobayashi to Sauber. That would be great - the kid deserves a drive. Seems the Schumi thing is rolling along and may actually happen.

My guess is Mercedes has a wish list of 1)Schumi, and if not him, 2) Kubica, and if not him, 3)Quick Nick. Though Rosberg is saying he wont be #2 to Schumi - so that is interesting.
