Not sure how many F1 fans are here but this is interesting (wish it was me)
"Ferrari wants retired world champion driver Michael Schumacher to stay with the company as assistant to new chief executive officer Jean Todt, the Italian outfit announced at Monza on Sunday.

Interesting...and very surprising given the body language of Todt and Michael after the Monza race.

It is an interesting job title, curious what it will entail. The press releases say it will have a lot to do with driver selection......and I'm going to guess driver coaching will enter into that as well. Much like Ayrton Senna, Schumacher has the reputation for being an incredible "engineering focused" driver. I'll guess Ferrari would like to have him impart as much of that knowledge as possible on its future drivers.
