Mercedes refuse to rule out Michael Schumacher joining Formula One team




The car manufacturer last week took a 75.1 per cent stake in Brawn GP, only to see world champion Jenson Button depart abruptly for McLaren in acrimonious fashion. While both sides accused the other of a lack of loyalty, it emerged that Schumacher had met Dieter Zetsche, the chairman of Mercedes' parent company Daimler, and team principal Ross Brawn in Abu Dhabi a few weeks ago. But while Brawn said over the weekend that the speculation was a "fantasy of the media", and Schumacher's agent, Sabine Kehm, described a return as "highly unlikely", Mercedes-Benz Motorsport Vice-President Norbert Haug declined the opportunity to kill the speculation dead.
