Michael Schumacher has targeted an unprecedented eighth Formula One title after Mercedes announced he was coming out of retirement.
Schumacher, who won two titles with Benetton and five with Ferrari before retiring at the end of 2006, will be paid just over $14 million in an all-German line-up.
He says having played around with motorbikes, he feels ready for some serious stuff and that's why he's signed for three years as they want continuity.
A move to Mercedes GP will reunite Schumacher, who turns 41 on January 3rd, with Britain's Ross Brawn, the technical director who guided him to all his titles and is now team principal.
Schumacher says it's the only combination that would have triggered a return, as Brawn is a long term friend.
