    Schumacher's coming back

    Driving for Mercedes, Schumacher finished 6th in the first GP in Bahrain. It might not be the best he could do, but it's still a good start. What do you think? Will he perform better in the next races?

    Yea but I think it takes a little bit to get back into the swing of things. You can be one for a year or you can be gone for 6 months, its still going to take a little time to adjust. These people drive for a living but still, even when you do that and get out of the habit of always doing it the same way, its going to take its toll on getting back into the jive of it.

    I'm not a fan of his. I do think it's a shame he was forced out of his car before he really wanted to go. The return is interesting from that point of view.

    There are many worse spots than just placing 6th, and no offense but I have a feeling this one is not done yet. I think he just needs to get back into the saddle and get a little more practice going.

    That is just one race and there are many more races that he could win. 6th place is not bad considering that he reentered racing. If this happens for 2 or 3 more races then we can conclude that he has lost his touch on F1 racing.

    It's also nothing to sneeze at considering that he's been gone for 3 years. To get back in the car and accomplish that is pretty darn good. Like I said, I'm not a fan, but no one should be complaining about his finish. It was darn good, all things considered.

    Well, it has happened for two races now. Even he did worse in Albert Park. He finished 11th! Has he really lost his touch? Anyway, let's see what would happen in Malaysia the upcoming Sunday.

    As much I like him, he seemed to be lacking the champion's skill and need some more practice for him to really get back on what he has done before. I can say that he is losing his touch on racing.

    6th place is not bad for just coming back. I think with anything if you get out of practice it just takes time to get to where you were before. I say give him a few races and then let's see how he does.
