Todt would like Michael to want team principal post

February 27, 2007

“I’d be delighted if he came to me and said: ‘Team principal is the next stage in my career’,” Ferrari general director Jean Todt said in an interview to be published in Wednesday’s auto, motor und sport magazine. He added, “Michael was an exceptional driver who accumulated an unbeatable amount of titles and victories. When he retired, then he did so for good reasons. He is a member of the Ferrari family. We suggested to him that he remain part of the firm by being an advisor. He knows so much about cars, not only racing cars, that we want to use his experience.”

As reported on M&C

Things just keep on getting more and more interesting at Ferrari with respect to Michael’s future role !! If Todt wants Michael to take Team Principal post, then what about Ross Brawn ? Does this means that the rumor about Brawn being linked to McLaren are not just rumors ? In that case what Clive “told us so” seems very possible.
