Ferrari will not retain Schumacher

Michael Schumacher now knows that he has free rein, if he actually wants to join Mercedes GP for the next season Formula 1. While he had agreed with Ferrari to continue for three years as technical advisor to the Team, the German will be released in the event of other requests. Luca di Montezemolo's comments this Monday confirm what AUTOhebdo put forward in its article devoted to Schumi's return (n°1729).

Asked whether he would make Michael Schumacher respect his commitment, the president of the Scuderia replied that the German would not “ bound» to his contract. “ It is clear that if he decides to take a path other than ours, then it is obvious that our agreement will no longer be valid, that is logical., Luca di Montezemolo told Reuters. You cannot work with an adversary and us at the same time. »

This weekend, the Bild newspaper reported on the agreement between Michael Schumacher and Mercedes for the next season. After three years of absence from F1, the seven-time world champion would make his return to competition, teaming up with Nico Rosberg.
