EX-FORMULA ONE driver Eddie Irvine has labelled Michael Schumacher's attempted motorcycle racing career as 'sheer madness', amid frenzied rumours of the German ace's F1 return in 2010.
Schumacher's former team-mate at Ferrari told BBC Radio 5 Live the German needed an outlet for his competitive streak and that a career motorcycle racing definitely wasn't Schumacher's best move.
"He tried the motorcycle riding, which was sheer madness because he wasn't very good and wasn't getting paid so I never understood that one, but F1 makes sense."
"He's been bored I think. Very, very bored and he's definitely up for it," Irvine said about the German ace's F1 comeback.
"I hope he comes back, it will be fantastic for F1."
