Report: Schumacher to Team with Raikkonen at Ferrari
Quote selected text Published August 15th, 2006 in MainYet another racing publication has claimed inside knowledge of Michael Schumacher’s decision, due to be publicly announced at Monza next month, about his future in Formula One beyond 2006.
Recent reports suggested that the 37-year-old German was set to retire, but Auto Bild Motorsport - citing ’sources’ - now adds to claims in Britain that Schumacher is in fact due to sign a new contract for 2007.
The seven time World Champion’s Ferrari deal will also include an ‘option’ for 2008, the German publication added, with Kimi Raikkonen as his new joint number-one team-mate.
With Schumacher-Raikkonen in the race cockpits, Maranello incumbent Felipe Massa is most likely to slip into a highly-paid role as a Ferrari test driver.

What would this mean for team orders? Would Schumi take precedent?
Haven’t we heard the same report for over a year now but none of the official F1 news sites seem to mention this so-called announcement.
its just like it says up there only reports…just a bunch of bull nothing official.
Have you seen the Sprite ad with the two green and yellow Gargantuan-Sumo guys running headlong into each other? That’s Schumacher and Raikkonen next year.
Just try not to be the guy in the middle.
