According to his longtime agent Willi Weber, discussions between Michael Schumacher and Scuderia Ferrari regarding his contract will take place during the summer.
Since retiring from racing in 2006, the seven-time world champion has remained loyal to the Maranello team as an occasional test driver but mainly as an advisor sharing his insights on the Scuderia’s strategy.
The German newspaper Bild estimates its annual fees at five million euros through a contract that will end this year.
« From a personal point of view, it is clear that everything must be appreciated for what it can bring, » said after Christmas the team principal of Ferrari, Stefano Domenicali.
On a contract renewal, the German’s agent added: « We are not in a hurry. »
At 40 years old, Schumacher has made a number of appearances at these winter tests, notably this week in Barcelona.
Precisely, when the reigning world champion, Lewis Hamilton, had his accident, Schumacher quickly took the wheel of a circuit service car to go directly to the scene of the accident where the MP4-24 was located.
