Schumacher return delights Alonso

Fernando Alonso says the return of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher to Formula 1 means any race victory will now have greater meaning.The last time the pair met was in 2006 in Brazil when Alonso came out on top to win his second world title, in the German's last race before retiring. "I'm very happy he is here. Hopefully we can have a good fight," Alonso said. "He is the best driver in history. Winning a Grand Prix with Michael on the track has more value." Since winning back-to-back world titles, Alonso has struggled, spending two frustrating years at Renault for whom he last won a race in Japan in 2008.
