For all the drama and hype surrounding Michael Schumacher's return to Formula One, the seven-time world champion doesn't have much to show for it. Struggling may be an appropriate word, but whatever Schumacher has going for him, his performances on-track have not resulted from it.

So, while it's easy to point the blame on the lackluster car Schumi's driving, the emergence of teammate Nico Rosberg, who, incidentally drives the same Mercedes F1 car, has put Schumached under quite a quandary. In an effort to show that he still has 'it', Mercedes has decided to give Schumcher a new chassis engine for the F1 season's next race in Barcelona on May 9, 2010. There are no rules being broken by having two completely different chassis on the same race car so, it may not be that far-fetched to have the Mercedes teammates racing the remainder of the 2010 season in two different cars.

If and when it does happen, Michael Schumacher will have to take care of the rest and the only way that he can take that big retirement gorilla off his back is to stir up one impressive result after another because, to be honest, the Schumi we've so far seen this year, is merely a shell of the Schumacher we've come to love.
