GMM) Michael Schumacher will race out his formula one career in a red car, manager Willi Weber insists.
Rejecting all the talk about a possible McLaren switch, the German said his 36-year-old compatriot 'accepts the challenge' of trying to return Ferrari to the world title.
Weber, at the Lausitzring to oversee the second 'A1' race for his German team, also denied that Schumacher - perhaps demoralised after a miserable '05 - might be motivated to quit at the end of the year.
"Actually, it's the opposite," Weber insisted. "Michael is determined and motivated to turn it all around."
"This is just a new challenge for him."
Willi Weber says some of the criticism of his seven time world championship-winning charge is not justified. "Reading some articles," he admitted, "you would think Michael has forgotten how to drive."
Still, the red racer might not want to continue beyond the end of his 2006 contract. Weber says Schumacher 'does not know yet' whether he will sign a new deal for the Scuderia.
And he adds: "We would not seek a pay rise -- we are ready to sign with the same terms."
