LEWIS Hamilton has spoken of his excitement at the possibility of racing against seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher.
The German legend appears to be in pole position to take over the Ferrari seat from injured racer Felipe Massa.
Hamilton said: "I am excited by the possibility of Michael Schumacher's return to Formula 1 assuming it happens, but my thoughts are still with Felipe and his family following his terrible accident in Hungary.
"Michael is one of the sport's greatest competitors and a legend in his own right and it would be great to compete against him.
"The whole world will be watching his return to the cockpit in Valencia and it will not only be fascinating to see how he readies himself for his grand prix comeback but also an honour and a privilege to race against him for the very first time.
"I wish him well.
