Schumacher... move to Sauber??

I believe he will mostly retire after this season... he's too expensive for Sauber, and too old for battling in the midfield...

According to Schumi's manager they (Mercedes) presented him with a contract extension mid-summer that he did not sign. Apparently he didn't want to commit to drive when he wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Also, there appears to be a separate bit to Michael's Mercedes contract in which he has the option to stay on in a high-paying advisory role. If he doesn't want to drive anymore I suspect he'll stick with Ross at Merc and help out where he can.

FWIW, Peter Sauber said he'd hire Michael in a heartbeat. Sauber can afford to pay him. So if he wants to drive that's an option.

But he'll probably just retire.
