Does Ralf has a future in Formula One?Posted on: September 4, 2007
In case he doesn’t, Hans Werner Aufrecht, the chairman of DTM organising body ITR, told the ’sid’ agency that DTM needs people like Ralf. “I’m convinced that, with a competitive car at his disposal, Ralf could play a important role,” he said, and added, “He would be a good fit with us.”
Ralf’s manager, Hans Mahr, commented on the possibility, saying they ” won’t be so arrongant as to say that the DTm is uninteresting to us”. Is that a yes?
Ralf’s contract with Toyota will be over at the end of the season, and it seems it won’t be renewed. The japanese team has been rumoured to be ‘in talks’ with japanese Takuma Sato, and BMW’s test driver Timo Glock.
There are not many race seats left in the 2008 grid, and even small teams have been denying interest on Michael’s younger brother. The last deny came from dutch team Spyker, that had an ‘insider’ telling german magazine Sport Bild that even thought they don’t have a second driver for the next season, “it will not be Ralf Schumacher.”
While many try to guess what Ralf’s gonna do from the end of the season on, the most experienced german F1 driver just wants to think about the next race.
“I’m looking forward to this weekend and hopefully we can show the potential of our car by fighting for more points,” he reportedly said.
