Michael plays down Rossi link
Michael Schumacher says it is unlikely that MotoGP superstar Valentino Rossi will move to Ferrari.
The Rossi rumours continue to be big news in Formula One but Schumacher is not convinced the Italian will make a permanant switch from two wheels to four.
Michael said "To be honest I would say that it is pretty unlikely,"
The German also again commented on his possible retirement, saying that he will continue to drive as long as he can challenge for the sports' top honours.
He added "It has not reached the stage where I think 'hey I am not as good as these youngsters',"
"I want to be competing at the top and not just a run-of-the-mill driver."
Schumacher's team-mate Felipe Massa has been hard at work in the off-season and will no doubt be keen to show he deserves a Ferrari drive in 2007.
The young Brazilian is confident the team are ready for the upcoming season and is happy with the overall package from the team.
He said: "I am convinced we have a strong package. It will be important to start scoring points as soon as the first race. I believe it will be possible to win races with our car."
