Michael Schumacher Signs For Three Years, Video-Interviewed By BBC

Michael Schumacher has confirmed to the media his return to Formula One, signing on for Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team, but it is for three years rather than the reported one year. “We are talking about a three-year deal, it's not just a one-off thing”, Schumacher said, “We are looking for continuation”.

A move to the Mercedes team will reunite Schumacher with Ross Brawn, the technical director who guided him to all seven of his titles, and partner him with Nico Rosberg, the 24-year-old German hired from Williams.

U.K.'s BBC news channel managed to track Schumacher down for a seven-minute interview. See the video below!
