Former world champion Alain Prost said he does not expect Michael Schumacher be back to full speed in 2011.
Last year Prost said Schumacher targeting the title in his comeback was "unrealistic" and claimed the German used Bridgestone's tyres as an "excuse" for his lack of pace, with "age" being the main factor.
Now, in a new interview with the Swiss newspaper Le Matin Dimanche, Prost said: "His decision to come back was personal and I respect it. I think it's impossible, at his age, to return to where he was in the past, but I hope he proves me wrong."
Prost said he does not miss racing in F1 because returning is out of the question, but admitted he would "like to do some laps in a modern car ... [if] only to assess the developments in technology, which has always fascinated me".
