While it has been rumored that Michael Schumacher may give up his racing career in favor of a management position within the Mercedes F1 team, another rumor states that he could actually return to Ferrari, where he may replace Brazilian driver, Felipe Massa.
The latter comes to complete the picture, with Lewis Hamilton moving to Mercedes, where he would take Schumacher’s place and race alongside Nico Rosberg. The seven-times F1 champion would then move back to Ferrari where he could prove to be a “short term fix”, according to Sky Sports F1 commentator, David Croft.

Croft went on to say that "The likelihood is that Michael would step down but there might be an opening at Ferrari for him because there is still a big question mark against Felipe Massa’s career there [. . .] Michael would be a good short-term solution - he might not necessarily challenge Fernando Alonso but he would push him. Michael’s not had the greatest season but it’s not all been his fault and I think there might be enough of the old magic left to tempt Ferrari."
