It seems there is no love loss for shumi at ferrari
Tuesday 15th DecemberFERRARI PREPARED TO RELEASE SCHUEY
Di Montezemolo says Schuey could go and race for Mercedes if he wished
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has said he would release Michael Schumacher from his Ferrari contract if the German race ace wanted to drive
for the Mercedes GP team.
Speaking to the Reuters news agency, di Montezemolo also added that, although he had not yet discussed the issue with Schumacher, his contract with
Ferrari was "not binding".
The Ferrari boss's comments came after reports in the German media over the weekend suggested Schuey could be heading to Mercedes in a one-year,
£3 million deal.
Despite the fact that Schumacher signed a three-year deal this summer to remain an ambassador for the brand, di Montezemolo remained sanguine about
the possibility of Schuey's defection to Mercedes.
"It's clear that if he decides to take another road our agreement will no longer be valid, that is logical," he said. "You
can't work with a competitor and with us at the same time. I still haven't spoken to him about it. He is only a
dear friend, not a team member. He is a consultant for our road cars." 
Hope he does come back not bothered if he does nowt just be good to see if he can still cut

I don't understand your point?
That statement seems pretty warm to me... calls him a 'Dear Friend' and makes no fuss about a possible return to F1 for a non-Fezza team.
It's Evolution Baby!

Luca is saying he understands a proud German would want to drive a German car and Ferrari wouldn't hold Schuey to the last day of his contract
as Brawn did with Button.
Luca always behaves like the well bred gentleman he is.

Looks like Luca di Montego would be quite happy for Scummy to join Mercedes.
I can't see him being fully competetive but who knows? It'll add to the interest anyway cos I think Hamilton will just runaway with it.

But he's not a team member though... so to call him a Dear Friend is surely a term of endearment???

They may not be that sad to no longer have his 'help'. I've read a few things saying a few dodgy decisions have been made by him on
the pit wall (the Massa tyre incident for example) and that's probably why he's mostly been helping out with the road car division
recently.
Also, there's clearly going to be issues between Massa and Alonso over who's number one. Ferrari will presumably favour Alonso slightly as
he's the better driver but Massa and Schumy are great friends so it would be Alonso vs Massa/Schumy which is clearly going to help Massa and
prevent Ferrari from side-lining Massa so easily!
There will be less internal Alonson/Massa strife with Schumy gone!
Cheers,
James
