Thumbs up Michael Schumacher is back!
Seven-time Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher is to sensationally come out of retirement to drive for Ferrari until Felipe Massa is able to race again, the team has confirmed this evening.

The 40-year-old has not driven competitively since the end of the 2006 season. But Schumacher, who won five of his titles with Ferrari and who has been acting as an advisor to the team of late, will now race in the European grand prix in Valencia on August 23.

"Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro intends to put Michael Schumacher in Felipe Massa's car until the Brazilian driver will be able to race again," Ferrari confirmed in a statement.

Schumacher, though, will first have to undergo a rigorous training programme as he is understood to still be recovering from neck and back injuries sustained in a motorbike test in Spain in February. But he is more than happy to come to Ferrari's aid in their hour of need after Massa fractured his skull in a freak accident on Saturday in qualifying for the Hungarian grand prix.

Speaking on his official website, Schumacher said: "The most important thing first: thank God, all news concerning Felipe is positive, and I wish him all the best again.

"This afternoon I met with [team principal] Stefano Domenicali and [president] Luca di Montezemolo and together we decided that I will prepare myself to take the place of Felipe.

"Though it is true the Formula One chapter has been closed for me for some time, it is also true that for loyalty reasons to the team I cannot ignore this unfortunate situation. But as the competitor I am, I also very much look forward to facing this challenge."

What do you think of Schumacher's sensational return to Formula One? Post your comments below

was it just me or was he shaking his head prior to the crash as a preperation for the impact?

the cars are now aimed at being more of a competition between the drivers than the cars. It would be very interesting to have Schumi come in and destroy the field.

No, I believe he was unconscious right after the impact of the spring.

Watch the throttle/brake... he goes full throttle/brake into the wall.
