Schumacher or Showmacher – Schumacher’s Doppelganger
Feb29
“
A lot of fans will think Michael is a traitor but I will explain to them it is not Michael but another one ”
Luca di Montezemolo
Ferrari president (2009)
Back in 2009 Schumacher announced his return to F1. However it was rumoured he was replaced by a doubleganger
“I spoke to him [on Wednesday] and he told me there is a very strong possibility but that it’s not 100% decided,” Di Montezemolo said.
He said a return by Schumacher, 41 in January, would be “good for F1″.
Schumacher retired at the end of 2006 after winning five world titles with Ferrari in consecutive years from 2000-4, to add to the two he won with Benetton in 1994-5.
BBC Sport pundit Eddie Jordan revealed last month that Schumacher had had talks about a comeback with Mercedes and that it would probably happen – and now Di Montezemolo has confirmed it.

“A guy called Michael Schumacher told us at Monza (in September) he would renew his (Ferrari consultancy) contract,” Di Montezemolo said. “And it looked like his career would finish with Ferrari.
“But then there’s another one who looks like him, 40, 41 yrs old, German, same name and decided to do a new career.
“Everybody in life can do what they prefer, and I understand that there is somebody at 41 years who wants to try again.
“So I think it’s possible this twin, another Michael Schumacher, same age, same capability, some determination and spirit, will drive for Mercedes next year.”
Luca has stated this severla years ago before Schumacher started his 2010 campaign with Mercedes GP. Could he be right? Is this not the REAL Schumacher what is driving at Mercedes GP?
