| Michael To Sit
Out Post-Season Tests |
|
|
|
|
Reigning
six-times world champion Michael Schumacher will play
no part in the first tests of the upcoming post-season
testing circuit.
|
|
Most
grand prix racing teams, including the German's Ferrari
outfit, return to the development tracks on November
28 when a current ban ends. But Michael, 34, will
opt for a winter with his family - as has been the
case in recent seasons - mostly hidden-away amidst
the snow of a Norway retreat.

For
now, Formula One circuits and a hard-fought quest
for another historic, seventh, drivers' world title,
are deliberately out of Schumi's mind. Asked
what he expects of a likely three-way tussle for 2004
spoils between the reigning Scuderia, BMW-Williams
and McLaren, Schumacher said: 'I don't even want to
think about that now. I want to think about what we
have just done. And I am looking forward to a holiday.'

Michael
will attend the FIA prize-giving ceremony in Monte-Carlo
next month, before he's bound for Trysil - his frozen
secluded cabin in Norway. 'Over the past few years,
I have realised how important it is for me to have
a break, in order to get a motivation for the New
Year,' Schumacher added.
