Schumi: Weber contradicts Prost

Willi Weber, manager of Michael Schumacher, wishes to deny following the remarks of?Alain Prost concerning the German's refusal to return to competition. In an interview with Le Parisien, the four-time French world champion understood the German's decision, adding that the age of the driver (40) must have played a role in this choice: “ He did not drive F1 for three years and he only had three weeks to prepare. The body changes very quickly when you stop racing, a rider doesn't react the same way and vision isn't as clear. »

Willi Weber does not agree with this observation by Alain Prost. For Michael Schumacher's manager, the latter's decision not to participate in the European Grand Prix can be explained solely by his neck pain. “ Unfortunately, I will disappoint Mr. Prost, says Weber in Bild. Michael's times during his Mugello test told a different story. His decision is solely due to his neck problems »
