Schumacher turned down Ferrari offer

January 4, 2008

As reported at Autoweek.com, Ferrari CEO Jean Todt says that seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher turned down an offer to replace him as boss of the Formula One team.

Speaking about why in the end the team did not reach agreement with Ross Brawn as well, Todt said: “Ross is a very good man. His successes with Ferrari speak for themselves.

“We spoke with each other for a long time - about what was best for Ferrari and what was best for him. But it was better for both parties, on a long-term basis, that he went to Honda and we occupied the team boss position internally.

Interesting.
