How can Ferrari allow him to sign for Merc if he has already tested their 2010 car (even if that car will possibly change before the 1st race) - unless a certain person is putting pressure on Ferrari from on high, or low as the case may be hahaha)

If the german media are to believed, Mercedes GP are throwing money at him, and ferrari are preparing to loose him.
And his press secretary ? cant say anything and is not denying or confirming anything
so they definately want him, only question is will he take it ?

Well I personally can see this happening ONLY if his fitness lets him, there is no other factor to keep him away from doing it, its purely down to his fitness, he has lost absoloutly nothing else since he retired, skill, passion, determination, drive, motivation, will etc etc ... that never dies in a TRUE racing driver, you just have to stop when the body can't take it anymore and I'm sure his can.
As for the team, well Mercedes is a VERY viable and realistic choice, its a German team with a German engine and it would also partner him back up with Ross Brawn and re-establish that ultimate duo that was SO dominant for half a decade and also prior to that in 94&095.
As for the sport I think it would be VERY good news, with all the politics last year of Crashgate and Liegate etc it's what the sport needs and its also an excellent chance for the newer breed of driver like Hamilton and Vettel to go up against a true racord breaking legend that Schumacher is.
As for me being an F1 nut, I would love it, I've supported Schumacher for the entire time that I've been watching the sport which is since 1992, even through the times of Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and other brits he has always been a firm favourite of mine, he has something about him that even now, nobody has, I never saw the Schumacher spark in any of the races this year regardless of who was upfront dominating etc, they just don't have it and thats been the same for me since he retired, F1 lost something when that happened and at the moment only Schumacher can bring that back.
I guess what I am trying to say is that without him I don't see a star, I don't see someone who's name will ring out as being an all time great like the others, Fangio, Hill, Clark, Senna etc ... maybe all of that with the current crop of drivers is still to come ... who knows but in the mean time I really think a return is on.

Please explain how one person dominating the sport again is good for it - for the life of me it will only be a bad thing
Yes the interest in F1 should only be about the racing and not the politics as majority of last season was, and for whatever reason McLaren more often than not mess up somewhere along the line - and there would be little competition with Merc having their own team, the best engine on the grid (despite a new dose of "equalisation" - which will only make Merc more reliable)
As for "record breaking legend" - you forgot to add "cheat" in there (which of course if /when he does come back the "new" FIA president will only be completely blind to WHEN (not if) something happens in the future)
Oh come on! He's not going to dominate anything.
Merc being the the biggest team on the grid now (after all Ferrari are actually quite a small company, and McLaren are tiny in proportion also) the sheer might of Merc will allow them to be winners in relative no time at all (and they have a head start from the 2* Championship winning car from 2009)
