Vettel says hype around Schumacher will subside

Sebastian Vettel insists that the current hype regarding the return of seven-time F1 title winner Michael Schumacher will disappear when the 2010 season kicks off in Bahrain.

"His return is good for F1," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Now this is obviously the main point of conversation, and the entire world is talking about it. But I think that once the engines start again and the season begins, there will certainly be more important things to focus on."

“It certainly won't be easy for him," he said. "But if you look at him, he really is still in great shape. He's always been active. Naturally a lot will depend on the car's performance. Let's wait at least until the Bahrain GP to understand what will happen."
