No hints from Schumacher about F1 future

It seems everyone’s pretty up-in-arms about Eddie Jordan’s predictions that Michael Schumacher will race for Mercedes GP next year.

Well, everyone except Schumacher.

The multi-time world champ added a new statement to his sporadically re-freshed official website a short time ago, and it focuses entirely on his weekend in America racing karts:

Michael at the SuperNational in Las Vegas

SKUSA – karting sport at very high level

“We are in Las Vegas now since Wednesday, and I am really looking forward to experiencing this event. As always, my friends at Tonykart have put together a super package which I explicitly would like to say thank you for. I managed to go karting quite some times lately because I still, after all those years, have a lot of fun driving – and surprisingly I was even quite successful at these sporadic entries. I simply enjoy this pureness in karting, the direct fights, the duels wheel-to-wheel; nothing changed about that. To me, Karting is still the best of all schools for drivers to learn about duelling or the technical details. I am deeply convinced about that. So again, I am really looking forward to racing this high-class race weekend in Las Vegas, this here at the SKUSA is karting sport on a very high level.”

Oh well. Maybe after he’s done dueling with Nelson Piquet this weekend he can get around to addressing the Mercedes rumors.
