Audi wants Michael Schumacher to drive their LeMan car.

for ~$12 million, but his contract with Ferrari may not allow him to do so.

Ferrari will pay him ridculous amounts of money to remain w/ the brand.

I mean Mika Hakkinen only won 2 WDCs and he's got a Mercedes ride for life. They paid him even while he was retired to do MB ads, and be a spokesperson for the brand.

So I'd bet Schumi will be back on the track. But only in a 430 or a 5xx LeMans car, but he'll be Ferrari for life.

But I'll bet you he's locked into a Ferrari endorsement deal for quite a few years.

Even so, if Audi offers 12 million, you can bet Ferrari will pay him 24 million.
