Mansell says title unlikely for Schumacher this season
|
08 March 2010 @ 08:00 GMT - Ian de Beer Michael Schumacher will return to F1 this season with the Mercedes GP team, but former F1 champ Nigel Mansell believes he is unlikely to win the title this season. He has however not ruled it out in the future. The 41-year-old German will make his return at Sunday's Bahrain grand prix. "In the first year [the world title] probably is a little bit too far but if he's in for a couple of years I don't see any reason why not," Mansell said. "I certainly put him down for some race wins this year. Anything is possible with Ross Brawn and Michael. He's back with his old mentor," he said. The 56-year-old Mansell even floated the idea of a return to F1. He is currently involved in the Le Mans series driving for Team LNT alongside his son Greg. But, when asked if he might return, said: "Never say die. If there's a good Formula One seat, who knows? Why not, it would make a bit of history, wouldn't it? We're pulling four to four and a half G in these cars so who says anything can't be done these days? It's about having the opportunity," he said. |
