Seven-times Formula One world champion planning to come out of leaving and race for Mercedes racing team , president Luca di Montezemolo said on Monday. The 40-year-old has worked as a advisor for the Italian team since retiring at the end of 2006 but reports say he is close to signing with fellow Germans Mercedes, who have taken over world champions Brawn.2009 September schumi was announced he will work as a consultant for Ferrari for another 3 years. Asked if Ferrari would implement the deal, Montezemolo said: No, not binding. It is clear that if he decides to take another road our agreement will no longer be valid, that is logical. You can't work with a contestant and with us at the same time, Montezemolo said in an meeting.
I still haven't spoken to him about it. He is only a dear friend, not a team member. He is a consultant for our road cars.Schumi was forced to cancel plans for a Formula One comeback with Ferrari because of fitness problem in August.He was due to substitute the injured Felipe Massa but pulled out subsequent medical checks on a neck injury sustained in a motorcycle accident earlier this year that caused him pain during testing.With his neck problem better, Ferrari had talked about including him in their driver lineup if plans to have a third car on the grid next season were agreed.
