Michael Schumacher to make a comeback to racing

FIA president Jean Todt’s prediction that Schumacher will be back to racing could be proven true as the seven time world champion is reportedly going to contest in a kart racing event.

Todt had predicted that Schumacher wouldn’t be able to resist the lure of competition for long and would be back racing something within a couple of years’, despite having called time on his F1 career for the second time at the end of the 2012 season.

Schumacher, who is currently involved with Tony Kart Factory in a development role, could be playing a much more bigger part in their 2013 campaign.

According to reports, Schumacher is going to contest for TonyKart team after setting some impressive lap times while testing alongside the rest of the squad at Lonato in Italy. The newspaper reported that Schumacher covered more than 200 laps without any problem and his lap times were very consistent and fast.

Schumacher is also going to design an all-new international karting facility close to Cologne for nurturing young talents from Germany and the rest of the world.

During the 2012 season, there had been rumours that if Schumacher retired, he would take up a management role inside Mercedes F1 Team. But that doesn’t seem to be happening as it looks like the world champion is keen on returning to his roots.
