The three-time Formula 1 world champion, Niki Lauda, is very excited about Michael Schumacher’s return to Formula 1.
The Austrian, who raced with Ferrari for four seasons, does not expect to see the German win races right away but is very curious to see what he can still achieve.
The return of Michael Schumacher is such a sensation that Bernie Ecclestone must give him half of his salary. Has there ever been anything more exciting in motorsport? declared Lauda to the BBC.
« I’m not saying that Michael is going to win because it depends on the speed of the car, but I have absolutely no doubt about his ability to achieve great feats, as well as ever. »
« I was 33 years old when I retired and he is 40, but you have the age you want to have. I have no concerns about his reflexes. He will be very brilliant. The most interesting will be to see him against Kimi Räikkönen in the second Ferrari. Which one will be the fastest? »
« After all the politics, Michael Schumacher’s return is the best thing for him, Ferrari, and Formula 1. »
