Schu confirms F1 return with Mercedes

[lazyfoot]

I'm so happy that Schu is back, i'm also glad kamui K. is also driving this year. I've got to save money to watch either in singapore or shanghai... I never get tired of watching Schumi's great races

$10M lang? parang ang liit ata nun for a 7-time champ like M Schumacher though this is definitely good news. :-)

I agree. Must be a typo somewhere. They must have meant € or British Pounds.

Shumi is back! :barmy: :banana1:

Mercedes workers angry at Schumi F1 contract

The head of the Mercedes works council has expressed outrage over the expensive deal signed this week with former Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher, coming as the firm forces cost-cutting on its workforce.

"This is hard to justify to our people," work council chief Uwe Werner declared. Speaking in Thursday's edition of the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper, Werner said the board of Mercedes-makers Daimler was forcing savings on its German workers, and moving part of its production overseas, while at the same time spending millions on Formula One. "This is not understandable for many colleagues," Werner said.

Having retired in 2006, Schumacher, who turns 41 on January 3, will reportedly be paid €7 million to be on the grid when the new season starts with the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 14.

Di ba there was a time when Jacque Villeneuve was still being paid $15 million a season years after he became a world champion?

You can demand daw your salary based on your champion status.

Jacque was I think just a one time F1 World Champion. How much more for dear old Shumi di ba?

E di, talagang approx $10M "lang" talaga ang deal...
