as i posted in the Ferrari fans thread, i'm fantastically excited to see him back, i think parts of his last season was some of his best, i am of the opinion he mellowed a little towards the end of his pervious stint and some of his drives were exceptional, Brazil especially. i'm intrigued to see if he still has it, and even more so to see how the new Merc/Brawn performs, given the platform of this years car, and the chance to correct the compromises made on the car at the start of last season. IMO if they are anywhere near the front MS will fight for race wins and potentially a title - that would be a great story regardless of what i felt for him earlier in his career.

i also think it closes the book nicely on his career finishing up with Mercedes after his earlier associtaion with them despite never having previously competed with them in F1, its like its unfinished business, almost repyaing a favour.

part of me thinks he could be amazing, but part of me wants him to be competitive, but ultimately not able to put one over on the current crop.

either way i can't see it being more than one year, so even if he comes and kicks ass, i'm not worried about a period of long term domination, like the one that turned me off him last time round
