Formula One seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher is set to comeback this August 23 in Valencia, Spain, for the European Gran Prix. It'll just be for the remainder of the 2009 season until Felippe Massa fully recovers from his near-death accident during qualifying in the Hungarian Gran Prix. Massa ran over a spring from Rubens Barrichello's car at over 275 kph. It hit his helmet causing him to pass out and sustain skull fractures. He's now out of intensive care but has been advised by his doctors to take the rest of the season off.
As for Schumi, I think he's going to be a little rusty. Honestly, I'm not worried whether or not he wins. I'm more worried if he'll be able to escape death just like he did several times before his retirement on October 2006. He might not be so lucky this time. And for the record, I'm a big fan of Schumi, but only next to Tsuchiya. It'd be such a pity to lose the biggest name in Formula One in a post-retirement/comeback racing accident.
