Despite visiting Ferrari for this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix and his plans to work with the Scuderia for quite sometime, Michael Schumacher is reluctant to commit himself fully to any fulltime role with the team. Schumacher simply wants to be involved with his former team as a consultant, to assist them in fighting for the World Championship, not to become a senior team member.
Speaking on his future with the Scuderia at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix, Michael was asked if he would consider stepping into a senior management position ar Ferrari. He had this to say:
"Absolutely not. I just don't want to. I have other ambitions in life other than that one. I don't think there is a point to go through my agenda here and now, to get into the details. I like to keep that the way I mentioned it, because there is no such guideline that has to be followed for what I have to do.
Ferrari are doing incredibly well. They have restructured the company in a very good way, so obviously there is much less possibility to be of support. I am happy to see the way things are going. It is the same for Ross and myself. When you have been such a long time in a team like this and make so many friends, and you leave that part of work, then you feel very happy to see the success continuing and that they can still do the job they do.
Well, it is certainly very obvious that there is a life after Formula One. After being 16 years here, it has been an interesting experience not to wake up every morning and think about it, just thinking about other things like the family and so on. It has been very exciting."
