So Michael Schumacher will drive for Mercedes GP in 2010. Will his brother, Ralf Schumacher, be back in Formula 1 as well? That's one of the titillating newsbits floating around during a slow news week.

Supposedly, Ralf has already had an offer that he has turned down. And at least one F1 blogger is speculating that this offer came from the new USF1 team, which has yet to sign a driver for 2010.

Ralf Schumacher last competed in F1 in 2007 when he drove for Toyota. He left Toyota at the end of the season, and imperfectness to secure a spot elsewhere, switched over to DTM racing.
