BERLIN (AP) -Michael Schumacher's comeback performance has earned him a nickname he hasn't seen very often in his native Germany: ``Creeping Schumi.'' That was the mass-circulation Bild daily's front-page headline Monday after the seven-time champion finished sixth in his Formula One comeback in Bahrain. It asked: ``How long will Schumi be trailing behind?'' Fernando Alonso won the race for Schumacher's former employer, Ferrari. The BZ tabloid headlined its Schumacher story: ``Red Goddess steals Schumi's show.'' However, reviews were mixed. The daily Berliner Kurier wrote that the 41-year-old is ``top-fit and can easily keep up with the whippersnappers.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
