Organisers of this season’s F1 Brazilian Grand Prix are planning to send Michael Schumacher back into retirement in style.
In late 2006, the seven time world champion entered his first retirement with a pre-race celebration on the Interlagos grid involving soccer legend Pele. Now, with the 43-year-old’s ultimate trip into retirement also coinciding with a Brazilian season finale, race organisers are planning a similar send-off.
But for now, the details are top secret.
“Just beforehand we will talk with Bernie Ecclestone, so as we do not interfere with any of the other activities,” Interlagos chief Claudia Ito is quoted by Agencia Estado.
Ito is also quoted by Globo: “You’ll all be surprised. Even Bernie doesn’t know what will happen. I am sure Schumacher will like it,” he added.
