REVVED UP ... Schuey, who was karting in Vegas last night​


The real reason Button opted to take on Lewis Hamilton at McLaren became clear after legend Schu's secret comeback talks with Brawn were revealed.

Schumacher met old pal Ross Brawn at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this month.

The seven-time Formula One champ is set to spearhead Mercedes Grand Prix - which has bought 75 per cent of Brawn - if Ferrari release him from a consultancy role.

Schumacher's former boss Eddie Jordan said: "I believe it is going to happen. It started with a meeting between Michael, Ross Brawn and Daimler chief executive Dieter Zetsche at the Abu Dhabi GP.

"At the moment, Michael cannot drive for Mercedes because he has a consultancy contract with Ferrari.

"But I understand he was due to meet Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo with a view to being released. Michael likes the idea of driving a Mercedes run by Ross. It's a mouth-watering idea."

Button signed for McLaren in a £21m deal to partner 2008 king Hamilton. The Frome flier, 29, claimed he could have earned more at Brawn.

But it is clear he was being forced out at Brawn, whose new owners want Schu in an all-German line-up with Nico Rosberg.

Schumacher, 40, called off a comeback with Ferrari this year because of a neck injury. But the lure of racing for Mercedes, who backed him in his early days, is so big he wants to get fully fit.
 
It's just a rumour speculated by Eddie .. nothing's confirmed by any party yet..
