Formula one: Schumacher decision ‘difficult’ for Mercedes

“The decision for Michael to stay or not continue is a difficult one,” said Mercedes boss.

Mercedes boss Ross Brawn said that his team faces a ‘difficult decision’ over the future of veteran driver Michael Schumacher, according to the BBC.

Mercedes have offered McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton a contract, as speculation over his future with his current team continues to soar. “The decision for Michael to stay or not continue is a difficult one,” said Brawn. “Obviously he’s very involved in that decision, and discussions are ongoing at the moment. Michael has been a huge asset to the team. I think we will have something to say in the next few weeks or months. I think any ambitious team looks at the top drivers and we’re an ambitious team.”
