Maranello, 11 September 2009

The relationship between Michael Schumacher and Ferrari seems to be destined to last forever. After eleven years as a driver for the Scuderia, winning five Drivers’ and six Constructors titles with the team, Michael will continue working as a consultant for the Prancing Horse, which he has been doing since 2007, for another three years. This has been announced by Michael on his website: “Yesterday in Maranello Chairman Montezemolo and I agreed on extending our collaboration for another three years. I’m very happy about it, because I always loved being part of the family Ferrari, a name that stands for passion, high quality and top-level sportiness. The agreement foresees that my contribution is more and more directed to the area of road cars. It was extremely nice for me to participate in the development of the Ferrari California, the 430 Scuderia and the new born 458 Italia, which will be officially presented next Tuesday at the IAA Frankfurt: I can’t wait to be part of the future projects in Maranello."
