Formula 1 King is back!!!

FRANKFURT (AP) - Former Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher has reportedly signed a one-year deal to drive for Mercedes in 2010.

On Monday Mercedes announced that Ma­lay­­sian state oil and gas com­­pany Petro­nas will be title sponsor of the Mer­­ce­des For­mula One team next season, Mer­cedes announ­ced yes­terday

On Wednesday German newspaper Bild said that Schumacher, the seven-time champion, who retired in 2006, signed the deal at the team's offices in Brackley, England, on Tuesday.

Schumacher, a former Ferrari driver, has been heavily linked with a move to the former Brawn GP team, which won last year's drivers' and constructors' titles.

The 40-year-old German driver attempted a brief return in August to replace injured Ferrari driver Felipe Massa but a serious neck injury kept him from driving.
