McLaren would be interested in Schumacher

By on

Should Michael Schumacher make a full time return to Formula One, the McLaren squad would be interested in hiring the seven time champion. McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said to the 'Mirror' they would be 'nuts' not to want him on their side.

"We'd be nuts not to be interested if a seven times world champion was honestly thinking about coming back to Formula One. But I don't think it’s likely," said Whitmarsh.

Although Schumacher is currently contracted to Ferrari, where he serves an advisor role for both the Formula One team and the road car division. And it seems that with his decade and a half long relationship with the Scuderia it would be extremely difficult for him to stray away from Maranello.
