Speculation that Michael Schumacher is planning a full return to Formula
One is continuing to build.
So far the rumours are being played down by the 40-year-old's spokeswoman
Sabine Kehm and officials for Brackley based Mercedes GP and its parent
Mercedes-Benz/Daimler.
But British television pundit Eddie Jordan, who gave the German his Formula
One debut more than 18 years ago, is commenting with apparent authority
that a deal for 2010 is very possible.
He revealed that Schumacher, who recently signed a new Ferrari consultancy
contract through 2012, met with Ross Brawn and Daimler chairman Dieter
Zetsche in Abu Dhabi three weeks ago.
"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," Jordan is quoted as saying by the BBC.
