Michael Schumacher wants to develop Ferrari road cars

Michael Schumacher says he is still not sure what form his advisory role at Ferrari will take in the future. The retired multiple world champion, who will attend this weekend’s grand prix at the Nurburgring, ruled out becoming a team boss or returning to competitive action.

“No. Fortunately I found the right time to stop,” he said in an interview with the German newspaper Bild. “I considered my decision for a long time but I got it right.”

Schumacher, 38, reveals that after several visits to the paddock in 2007, he still has not found a more specified role to play within the formula one team. “But I do want to help with the development of Ferrari’s road cars,” he insists.

Though he is a fantastic race car driver, Michael was never highly regarded as a technical driver who could give precise mechanical advice to the team engineers. I don't really know the best way with which he could contribute and it sounds like he doesn't as well.
