Schumacher not poised to quit Williams
The German said he was in no rush to sort out his Formula One future adding that a planned meeting after this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix between team chief Frank Williams and his manager Willi Weber had been delayed.
Schumacher was reported earlier this week to be set to join the Cologne-based outfit in a five-year deal that would make him the second-highest paid driver on the grid after his brother Michael, who earns £25m a year at Ferrari.
But the 28-year-old said: “everybody must be bored because Ferrari keep winning, that’s why there is a lot of talk about my contract.
Schumacher reputedly earns around £9m, though Weber said recently any new contract with Williams would see his standard wages cut as part of a performance-related pay clause.
Toyota will have no problems meeting Schumacher’s salary demands as their £240m budget is only bettered by Ferrari.
The Japanese car giant are determined to win the world championship having only entered F1 three seasons ago.
