EXCLUSIVE: Michael Schumacher In, Massa Out For Formula One's Bahrain Grand Prix
By Mike Sulka

In a stunning development, this weekend Formula One will see Michael Schumacher return to the cockpit of a Ferrari F1 car and race again!

Sources inside the legendary Prancing Horse squad have confirmed exclusively to PaddockTalk.com that later today – April 1st – the legendary Michael Schumacher will be announced as a temporary replacement for the embattled Brazilian Felipe Massa.

Though not for the reason that most would expect… and many won’t believe it.

While running second on lap 31 in the Malaysian Grand Prix, it was clear that Massa clipped the curb at the exit of Turn 6 and his F2008 hit quite hard. Though the impact with the curb didn’t damage the car seriously, what was kept a secret is that Massa’s wrist was wrenched by the sudden spin and that he has been unable to safely hold the steering wheel of a road car, much less a top-of-the-line Ferrari Formula One challenger with 4-5 gs loaded into it.

Though some will be doubtful of Massa’s un-fitness, because of the firestorm of disapproval from the F1 senior home, and the Italian media who reigned down criticism on him for making three major mistakes in the two season opening races – the first two events without traction control – it is a fact, that Felipe Massa is injured and will be unable to race at Bahrain...

Great discussion fodder but it is that foolish day, unfortunately.

If it were true I would love to see the faces of the other drivers/teams when they realized who they would be competing against.
