Retired F1 legend Michael Schumacher looks set to return to behind the wheel of a Ferrari F1 car for the European Grand Prix as a stand-in for the injured Felipe Massa, who was knocked unconcious by a spring in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying.

Schumacher will now undergo a preparation exercise (though no F1 car practice) to be ready for Valencia in a few weeks’ time. His return, I think, is likely to increase Button’s chances of taking the championship this season, as another contender for race wins will take points away from Vettel and Webber’s potential totals.
