Schumi to Red Bull?
By Ian Lockwood - December 15 2005

When Red Bull Racing signed Adrian Newey, team boss Christian Horner said that he believed signing the Mclaren man was better than signing Michael Schumacher. There is increasing speculation that Schuey may be the next big target.

When he was pressed on this point Christian Horner didn't deny the fact saying "It would all depend on (Schumacher's) motivation and if the timing was right, - it's a difficult question to answer." he then added that focus is on the current drivers "for the time being"

Willi Weber, Schumachers manager, has added more fuel to the fire saying that Michael is on the top of Red Bull's wanted list and that Michael is "honoured" to be wanted by Red Bull. Commenting in the German magazine "TZ" Weber went on to say "But first Michael has to decide whether he wants to drive at all after 2006. Then we can think about other things."

In response Christian Horner admitted "I can quite imagine Michael driving with us in 2007. Next year we want to be a top five constructor. Then in 2007, Adrian Newey's influence on the car will really start to be seen."

Weber struck a note of caution though saying that Ferarri currently remains the priority if Schumacher races on in 2007. With Vodaphone pulling out though, the Scarlet team may not be able to afford to German superstars financial demands.

Its a very likely situation. Schumi has changed when he saw a better team comming in (in the form of Ferrari) and would be likely to change again. Im sure that if Schumi stays in F1 past 2007 he will bea Red Bull driver,

Vas think about it. Red Bull is definately doing to be a constructors champion by 2010. They are getting everyone they need and areclearly moving foward. They are the only team that have a 2nd team which will obviously help them. Schumi switched to Ferrari when they were clearly going to be a huge team in F1 ...why wouldnthe do it again with Red Bull???
