Schumacher keeps faith with Ferrari

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER says that Ferrari may take their time to return to the top of Formula One, but has brushed aside fresh retirement talk by vowing to be there when they do.

The world champion has suffered his worst start ever to a Formula One season as Ferrari struggle with new regulations and he arrives at Indianapolis for the United States Grand Prix 25 points behind championship leader Fernando Alonso.

That has prompted new speculation over his future, with brother Ralf suggesting the 36-year-old could quit this year, 12 months before his Ferrari contract runs out.
