Reigning F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton says it will be "an honour and a privilege" to race against seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
The German is coming out of retirement to drive for Ferrari while Felipe Massa recovers from a crash and will return to racing at the European Grand Prix.
"He is one of the sport's greatest competitors, a legend - it'd be great to compete against him," said Hamilton.

yup, he is surly of legendary status, but i think in his case it's kinda like earning the MOH... he was a fantastic driver and brave man winning very hard race under extraordinary circumstances and that is enough for a lifetime. too bad that was pretty much it.
Looks like Ferrari are going to be able to get Schumi a few laps in the car as well before Valencia. The rest of the teams have said they don’t have a problem with it and Ferrari are submitting their request to the FIA.
nope... it's fair. fitting into the car(new seat peddle length etc) and learning the steering wheel controls will prolly take longer than getting used to the car
