Mercedes, Schumacher Prepare For Title Bid
STUTTGART, Germany
-- Michael Schumacher is gearing up to try for a record eighth Formula One
title with Mercedes, saying Monday "we have a world champion team" as
the car's new livery was presented.
A relaxed-looking
Schumacher joined teammate Nico Rosberg
at the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart for the presentation of the team's new
silver-and-green livery — which was applied to last year's car.
Michael
Schumacher is back. The seven-time world champion who had retired from Formula
One at the end of the 2006 season has signed on to race for Mercedes GP
Petronas, the reigning constructors’ champion.
The
team made the announcement on Wednesday. The deal had been widely anticipated
for weeks, ever since Mercedes bought a 75 percent stake in the team from Brawn
GP in November. Mercedes was determined to replace the two existing drivers,
Jenson Button, the new world champion, and Rubens Barrichello. Button left to
join McLaren, and Barrichello signed with Williams.
