Michael Schumacher admitted he didn't know whether to laugh or cry after finishing fourth in the Canadian Grand Prix. Schumacher was running in second place late in the race having climbed through the field on intermediate tyres, but was unable to resist the pace of Jenson Button and eventually lost out in a battle with Mark Webber for third, finishing just 0.3s behind the Red Bull. Schumacher said he was disappointed not to finish on the podium for the first time since returning to the sport, but that he was pleased to be so competitive.
When seven time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher made the announcement that he would return to race in F1 trumpets blared, fans danced in the street and even Bernie Ecclestone cracked a smile. After all here was one of the most popular figures in the sporting world returning to a motorsport that seemed to lack a visible hero, making a return to a team guided by Ross Brawn who had recently dominated the sport fielding a world champion of his own and who now enjoyed the factory backing necessary for success in Formula 1. With the addition of Nico Rosberg the German super team appeared ready for supremacy.
