GERMAN driver Timo Glock is convinced compatriot Michael Schumacher will make a Formula One comeback with Mercedes next season and is looking forward to racing against him.
"There's still a lot of speculation but at the end he's just a crazy race driver, I would say, and wants to come back," the former Toyota driver told reporters at the launch of his new Virgin Racing team on Tuesday.
"I think it's just not enough for him to just drive go-kart races or the Race of Champions at the end of the year. The flame is just still there, still burning in him and it's great for Formula One if he is coming back.
"I think it is quite obvious that he is coming back, for me as my personal feeling."
Schumacher won seven world titles before retiring in 2006 with a record 91 wins.
"For Formula One and the fans it's just a big boost again if a seven-time world champion comes back after three years out. It's just a mega highlight. A German driver in a German car, great for everyone," said Glock.
Ferrari, which has a consultancy agreement with Schumacher, said on Monday it would not stand in his way if he wanted to race for Mercedes.
