It's not going to happen as a driver.
He has signed an advertising contract with one of Mclaren's priciple sponsors, Diageo, for a drive safe campaign which is going to be run globally.
Based on that contract, it would be a contradiction for him to go with any other F1 team and Mclaren have already filled their driver roster for 2007.
If he makes any type of return, I suspect it will be as a technical advisor of some sort.
Keep in mind he has committed for DTM next season from what I hear.

Mika will test for McLaren at Barcelona today :) Don't read much into that, I'm sure he just wanted to remind himself what it feels like, but it's still nice to see him back.
