Michael Schumacher has decided to end his second Formula 1 career, which began in early 2010 with the Mercedes team. The German driver had remained vague about his future for next year, but he recently revealed that he will be a test driver… for karts.<\/p>\n
This is what Schumacher told the German newspaper Stern<\/i>: \u00ab I have signed a contract and I will be active as a test driver. I love karting. It has always been a big thing for me. \u00bb<\/p>\n
He will serve as a test driver for the Italian brand Tony Kart. He also mentioned indulging in a new passion, skydiving, explaining that he can’t wait to not always have to think about F1.<\/p>\n
However, for the moment, nothing indicates that Schumacher will completely cut ties with Formula 1, as he recently explained, quoted by Autosport<\/i>, that he will discuss with the Mercedes AMG team to see if a role in the management team is feasible: \u00ab Obviously, I will be in talks with Mercedes to see what we can do together. There are good ideas and good options. I think my schedule will be easily filled. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
