For a while, the news of Michael Schumacher's return seemed to breathe new life into a Formula One season fraught with politics and bickering.

The paddock and the fans were looking forward to the return of the seven-time world champion. The tifosi were looking to their former ace to re-energize their team.

All of that hopes however, fell through yesterday afternoon when Michael Schumacher announced that he was not fit enough to return to the driver's seat.

Schumacher sustained "fractures in the head & neck region" when he fell during a motorcycle race in February of this year. His neck is still reportedly unable to take the stresses of driving a Formula One car.

As he will be unable to take the recovering Felipe Massa's place, Ferrari have instead chosen test driver Luca Badoer to drive Massa's car from the Valencia race onwards.
