There has been reports circulating the net suggesting Michael Schumacher could be interested in splashing some of his own money to rescue the embattled Honda Racing F1 Team.
Though Schumachaher’s press spokeswoman has played down reports the retired seven time world champion might get involved, it was suggested the 40-year-old could have been in talks with his former Ferrari colleague Ross Brawn, now the Brackley based team’s boss, about investing some of his own money in the wake of Honda’s decision to withdraw from the sport.
But to the German language portal motorsport-total.com, Schumacher’s representative Sabine Kehm rubbished the rumour.
“Ross and Michael are still friends, that’s true,” she said.
“But Michael’s involvement with Honda is limited to the IDM (German Superbike series).”
Reports last month that first Citroen-Peugeot and then Carlos Slim were lining up to take over the team were also incorrect. The team hopes to find a buyer by the end of the month in order to make the grid in Melbourne.
