After intense speculation as to who would take Felipe Massa’s spot at next month’s European GP in Valencia, Ferrari has announced that 40-year-old Michael Schumacher will take the seat. Although some thought that it might be Fernando Alonso taking the seat, the good money was on Schumi. It also appears that the 7-time World Champion will take the seat “until the Brazilian driver will be able to race again”, which could be a long time considering 1.5 lbs of flying suspension may have ended Massa’s career indefinitely.
Now, we wait to see if Schumi can find the magic to make an uncompetitive Ferrari car win again.
