Schumi: Mercedes downplays

Michael Schumacher, after failing in his attempt to get back behind the wheel with Ferrari last summer, could he bounce back with Mercedes GP? This is what many German fans hope for, and what high-ranking motorsport personalities, such as Eddie Jordan and Bernie Ecclestone, think.

The seven-time world champion, supported in his success by Ross Brawn, whether at Benetton and Ferrari, is cited to occupy one of the two seats of the new Mercedes GP entity, a few days after Jenson Button chose to join McLaren.

« It is obvious that there will always be rumors as long as one of the two steering wheels is free “, a Mercedes spokesperson told Reuters on Saturday. “ Some rumors are just dreams that won't come true. »

Earlier, Sabrina Kehm, spokesperson for Michael Schumacher, expressed her skepticism about this transfer, which she considered “highly improbable. »
