Schumacher, Mercedes, had been Approve Oral

Michael Schumacher apparently is still a magnet for Formula 1. Rumors he would return to F1 with Mercedes, has been submitted to stage 'is not a rumor anymore', as Bild reported Schumacher and Mercedes have agreed verbally to each other.

This news was surprising and still full of questions. From the report quoted German daily, Bild, Schumacher has agreed to supply Mercedes GP contract worth 3.5 million pounds. This value is only half of the initial bid is prepared Mercedes. Length of contract believed to be only for a period of one year, but continued with the role as ambassador Mercedes.

According to Bild, the new deal will be done after Schumacher passed the medical tests and Ferrari have agreed to remove it from manufacturer's role as advisor to the Italian exotic car. Schumacher's comeback season actually almost happened in 2009 and after Felipe Massa suffered an accident at the Hungarian Grand Prix. However, the plan was canceled after uproar Schumacher does not pass the medical tests following a neck injury during a race motor racing, not yet recovered. His position was replaced by Luca Badoer.

One of the important factors re willing Schumacher retired after three seasons is the fact he'll be working again with Ross Brawn. British man was a key figure behind the success Schumacher became world champion seven times in F1. One other factor is that he will join the Mercedes, which was defended by the manufacturer when he was young and fell in the below Formula F1. Defending Mercedes, by many, considered to be a dream deferred Schumacher.

"Schumacher was physically fit and healthy. Final test result is positive, and he can not wait to go back and work with Ross Brawn again," called a source.

Schumacher's management of his own party, through his spokesman, Sabine Kehm, declined to comment on this rumor. However, another source close to Schumacher's management said the Yahoo Eurosport Germany, that these rumors are not rumors anymore.

One important question that it is now intriguing is what's behind this Mercedes plans. The problem, as rumors Schumacher suddenly jumped sharply after the issue appeared that Jenson Button will leave from Brawn Grand Prix (team name before it was acquired Mercedes). Strategies taken driver Nick Fry and Brawn as messy indeterminate purpose.

At least, it is the opinion of a senior columnist for The Times, Ed Gorman, who questioned whether the rumor was Schumacher-Mercedes had been designed purely or because of an accident?

"Truth is not profitable for Brawn and Fry about Schumacher's pursuit of what they do is because they are wrong in setting the strategy drivers for next season. They made the mistake of allowing Button to McLaren and the same portion Button also made a mistake in accepting McLaren," called Gorman.

According to Gorman, Brawn and Fry thought that Button did not have much choice to move so that the negotiations with the world champion was postponed. Brawn and then took off Barrichello who later became the basis of their platform to offer four million pounds per year to the Button. Button then launched a 'threat' to hold talks with McLaren. Because there is no progress with Brawn Button finally received McLaren.

On the other hand, Brawn belatedly realized their mistake and when she realized it was too late. From this rumor Schumacher finally emerged to cover their mistakes because it is almost impossible Mercedes F1 start their adventure as a team with two drivers confirmed that had never won in F1. Before the issue of sticking Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld's name entered as a strong candidate to assist Nico Rosberg.

President of the International Motor Racing Federation (FIM) Vito Ippolito agreed with the idea MotoGP engine capacity to 1000 cc. He once argued that it is (1.000cc) will cause a conflict with the World Superbike Championship.

Actually, the idea of using this machine 1.000cc already made by the CEO of Dorna (MotoGP rights holders), Carmelo Ezpeleta, at the beginning of this year. He hoped, 1000 cc engine was beginning to be used in 2012. Modified version of this motor seems to be adopted as long as eligible machinery production. However, it is not compulsory.

Ippolito sure, the transition to the 1000 cc engine will be greeted with a very well by MotoGP teams. The reason is, the change from 990 cc to 800 cc in 2007 failed to bring hope to save money or reduce the motor speed during cornering.

"The team wanted the manufacturer Moto 1000 cc engine, so now is the way," said Ippolito to Motosprint.

"Formula 800 cc not running well because it is approximately the same strength as 990 cc, even when cornering speeds are higher. In addition, the costs are also increasing."

Suddenly, the promoter Superbike Motor Sports Infront reacted first to hear ideas about MotoGP Ezpeleta was 1000 cc in the summer, although Ippolito said that it would remain a clear separation between these two series. According to Ippolito, remain MotoGP motorcycle racing prototype machine.

"The difference is about the homologation rules, homologation of a motor can or not," explains Ippolito. "Discussion begins and ends here. No matter, whether the engine capacity of 1000, 1200, or 750 cc. Dihomologasi GP can not. Therefore, for the distinction is clear, then the engine problem could not be a problem," he added.

Ippolito also believe, MotoGP and Superbike has a different fan. Thus, any regulations issued, fans greeted him happily.

"We are pleased with these two series because of their desire to bring the fans," said Ippolito. "SBK offers the opportunity to race and show the greatness of those who are less talented, while MotoGP is a comprehensive picture of motor racing," he said.

"Therefore, we need both. However, it is important to be preserved is the difference between the two. People who watch the Superbike motorcycle racing just watch yourself. The MotoGP different because people who saw it wanted to see something else.
