Jordan: No Chance for Schumacher to Take 8th Title!

BBC pundit Eddie Jordan – formerly a team owner inside the Formula One Championship – said that Michael Schumacher must be “out of his mind” to return to the sport that turned him into a 7-time world champion. Speaking his mind about Schumacher's chances of making a difference in the 2010 championship, Jordan believes the German made a terrible mistake returning in F1.

“If I was his father I would have said to him, 'Son, why? Why?!' Seven times a world champion – he must be out of his mind! In life, you – as an individual with that sporting legacy – have to give your sport up, not the sport give you up, and he's putting himself in that position,” said Jordan during a pre-season BBC discussion this week, according to crash.net.

When announcing he wants to return to F1 racing for the upcoming 3 years (with Mercedes), the 41-year old German made it very clear that he aims to add another world title to his tally, starting from the very 2010 campaign. Whether he'll succeed in doing that or not, it's only for the time to tell, but Schu said he will only race to win.

And that is something that Eddie Jordan agrees Schumacher will succeed in – winning races, that is. As far as becoming a world champion once again, the 61-year old Irishman wouldn't bet a single pound on it.

“He's heading into a situation where he could become a sad, rejected man if he gets whipped – although he won't get whipped because he's that good. Can he win a race? Yes. Why should he do it? He's mad. Title? Not a hope,” added the Irish figure.
