New Delhi: If media reports are to be believed former champion Michael Schumacher may well be making a sensational Formula One comeback. It was reported that Mercedes are in secret talks with the former F1 great for some time. It was learnt that team principal Ross Brawn dished out a proposal to Schumacher in Abu Dhabi three weeks ago. It is believed that Braw and Schumacher have remained in regular contacts since then, and the two might come together in the next week or so. Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan went to the public with the information by saying: “The possibility is being actively pursued and I believe it is going to happen. It started with a meeting between Michael, Ross Brawn and Daimler chief executive officer Dieter Zetsche at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.” “At the moment, it is not possible for Michael to drive for Mercedes because he has a consultancy contract with Ferrari.” “But I understand he was due to meet Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo with a view to him being released and that it will be approved because it is in the interests of F1.”It has been a few months that Schumacher is trying to make a Formula One comeback. He came close to replace the injured Felipe Massa last season, only to withdraw because of a serious neck complaint.
