Is Michael Schumacher returning to F1 2010?

BBC Sport pundit Eddie Jordan has created a sensation by predicting that Michael Schumacher is poised for a sensational return to formula1 with the Mercedes team."The possibility is being actively pursued and I believe it is going to happen," said Jordan.

Schumacher's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm told BBC Sport a return was "highly unlikely - but never say never".

Schumacher is currently contracted to Ferrari as a consultant so why is he linked to Mercedes a team which took over last year champions Brawn GP. Before his debut with Jordan, Schumacher drove sports car for Mercedes who actually paid Jordan to give Schumacher a race seat. So you see why Schumacher is linked to Mercedes. Also when the dominance of Schumacher was at its prime some felt that specators were losing interest because of  his dominance so he was somewhat forced to announce his retirement and the sly Bernie Ecclestone may have had a hand in it. But with Schumacher exit Formula1 was never  the same and more people lost interest in  it, add to it the various scandals that were associated with F1. So now if Schumacher was to return it will give a big boost to F1 as it was seen when Ferrari wanted him for the injured Massa.

If Michael returns he will reunite with team boss Ross Brawn with whom he has won all seven titles at Benetton and Ferrari. But will he really return or is this just speculation lets just wait and watch.
