It'd be the stuff of fairy tales for him to win; we all know the car is capable of podium finishes but I'm not sure that even after 3 weeks gym work will Michael's neck be strong enough for the rigours of 2hours of high speed cornering. I think a points finish is the likliest result although I expect he'll lead the race at some point.

I reckon he'll qualify in the top 5 though <thumbsup>

The car is capable of getting into the points .... so he *should* score a point or two so long as he isn't unfit or unlucky/has a failure of some kind.

If he is fit and can get the car up to speed, then a podium is possible. A win would need some luck probably.

Nothing is impossible. Though as Lance Armstrong and Tom Watson have shown, winning as you get older gets harder to do.

Points but possibly a podium. Think he will be out to prove he's not over the hill and will do well in quali. I can't wait!

I don't think he's out to prove anything.

He'll go out there to do the best job he can for the team, have fun & enjoy driving a Ferrari in an F1 without the pressure of competing for a title.

And that's it.

Of course he'll want to be competitive, that will always be in his nature but even in the last couple of seasons before he retired he wasn't as quick he had been at his peak and the Ferrari isn't that quick at the moment so I'm not expecting miracles.

It would be a great result to bring it home in the top 6 after so long away. Anything better than that and I will be astonished.

Sorry M Schumacher will ring the neck out of the Ferrari.

No Champion is going to come back to F1 just to make up the numbers.

M Schumacher will need a race to get 100% back to racing but i would eat my hat if he does not score points or a podium on his return.

M Schumacher for pole??

Pole is a very real possibility, they could fuel the Ferrari very light and stick him up the front of the grid (as they did a few times in 2005 when the car wasn't up to it) but I think a win is out of the question unless there are some very strange circumstances. Points is most likely, a podium possible.

Points. I expect Raikkonen to finish ahead of him in the race, but Schumacher should score a point or two.

Ferrari have only managed two podiums this year. I'm not so sure.

Three podiums, two of those in the last two races. They're definitely moving forward.
