Ralf Schumacher wants to emulate brother Michael’s F1 return, telling a German news agency:

Sibling rivalry, eh? Whatever one of them gets, the other has to have one too. But there doesn’t seem to be much chance of a double-Schumacher comeback happening.

All of last year’s race-winning teams have filled their berths for 2010. And his definition of ‘competitive’ probably won’t include Renault, who finished eighth in last year’s world championship, or the born-again Sauber outfit.

Since quietly leaving F1 at the end of 2007 the younger Schumacher has had a distinctly disappointing two seasons in the DTM, finishing 14th and 11th.

Is Ralf Schumacher an under-appreciated talent who left F1 too soon with much yet to accomplish? I doubt it.
