Tuesday’s reports that Michael Schumacher will sign a new Ferrari contract for 2007 are gathering strength. Ahead of the German driver’s public announcement at Monza, Auto Bild Motorsport claimed this week that Schumacher is to race next year - and possibly also in 2008 - alongside Kimi Raikkonen.
A similar story has now appeared at sport.rtl.de; which is particularly significant, because the German publication also hosts 37-year-old Schumacher’s official website.
The headline reads: ‘At least one more year for Schumi’.
Reportedly, Schumacher - who is holidaying with his family on the small Mediterranean island of Formentera - decided to delay retirement for the time being and has now told long-time manager Willi Weber.
The publication quoted a close friend of Schumacher’s as saying: “I believe that Michael thinks himself capable of matching up to Raikkonen.”
