A team insider has rubbished reports that Ralf Schumacher might rescue his embattled formula one career next year at Spyker. It was reported on Monday that, given the buyout of the Dutch outfit by Indian billionaire and Schumacher friend Vijay Mallya, the 32-year-old could wind up at 'Team India' - or whatever the team will be called in 2008 - as a race driver and advisor.
An unnamed 'insider', however, told the German specialist publication Sport Bild that the speculation is wide of the mark. "Ralf Schumacher is not a topic for us," the insider said. "Adrian Sutil is set, the second driver is still to be decided -- but it will not be Ralf Schumacher." Sport Bild did not name its source, but it should be pointed out that, in the Spyker takeover by the Mol family and Mallya consortium, the team management including boss Colin Kolles is expected to be kept in place. |
