Ferrari will announce their 2007 driver line-up immediately after Sunday's race at Monza, a move which should confirm once and for all whether Schumacher intends to retire.
The issue has dominated the weeks up to the announcement but Schumacher himself is steering clear of that talk. "I understand that the announcement arouses some interest," said the 37-year-old. "We have already made known that the declaration will be made after the race as we want to focus on what is an important date." "I am in full agreement with this. I can only add that I will not discuss the subject until Sunday."
