Schumacher agrees Mercedes deal

Michael Schumacher has agreed to make a Formula One comeback with the Mercedes team, according to reports.

The seven-time world champion has held an advisory role with Ferrari since retiring in 2006, however reports suggest he has signed a one-year contract with the Mercedes team.

Mercedes clinched a takeover of the Brawn GP team last month, with German superstar Schumacher set to team up with Nico Rosberg for the 2010 season.
