Seven time Formula One Champion Michael Schumacher could decide next month whether to retire from Formula One, according to Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn.

Schumacher’s Ferrari Formula One contract is up at the end of the season but he is likely to decide his future before then.

“We haven’t given him an ultimatum,” Brawn told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung.

Quotable Quote

“He is incredibly professional. If you had to go for a heart operation you’d want somebody who was the Schumacher of the heart surgery world to do the job, because you can rely on him.” (…). He laughs as he considers the dominance of his old enemy. “Fortunately Michael wasn’t like that in 1996! The fact he is still winning makes me feel a lot better. It’s not so bad to be beaten by the best driver who’s ever lived. Nobody really knew that then. I was first into the arena, the first Christian thrown to the lions”

–Damon Hill, former Formula One Driver, The Guardian, 2004
