Schumacher Is Training Like Crazy - Father

Michael Schumacher's potential signing with Mercedes GP for the upcoming season of Formula One keeps making the headlines of all major sports publications in Germany. We guess until the German manufacturer will make their definitive announcement regarding the 2010 lineup, the rumors will continue to surface in the media just like before.

This one is related to his father, however, as Rolf Schumacher reportedly told the media that his son is training really hard for a potential F1 return. Although he didn't confirm his son's desire to return to the series, his statement clearly hints that Schu has some plans for the 2010 season, either with Mercedes GP or some other team.

Michael is training every day like crazy. He's not doing that for nothing,” Rolf Schumacher was quoted as saying to Cologne newspaper Express.

As rumored in the media last week, the 7-time Formula One champion will meet with his long time manager Willi Weber later today. We don't know what the topics of discussion will be, but the German manager told the media, prior to the meeting, that the Mercedes GP dilemma is not part of the agenda.

We are having a personal meeting, just as do we many times a year. Norbert Haug and Mercedes are not on the agenda,” Weber told German news agency SID.

As far as Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone is concerned – he has to have an idea about everything, doesn't he? – Schumacher's return to the series, although a true asset to F1, is highly unlikely.

I would personally doubt that he's going to make a comeback but, having said that, it's maybe getting a bit stronger than a rumor. If I was Michael I wouldn't do it, but I'm sure he knows he could get the job done,” Ecclestone told The Times the past weekend.
